En route to this point, each of the four division tournaments resulted in the top two seeds fighting it out for their spot in the conference finals. Laval Rocket remains as the only top-seeded team in the tournament. Charlotte upset the reigning champion Hershey Bears. 

Despite the Texas Stars 10th place finish in the regular season, they were able to sweep the Grand Rapids Griffins. Then, they fought it out through all five games—trading wins back and forth with the No. 1 Milwaukee Admirals.

The Abbotsford Canucks started their 2025 Calder Cup Playoffs on April 23 in the Pacific Division First Round, about a week before the other three teams in the Conference Finals. In fact, they're just one game short of the possible maximum number of games possible.

Here's the updated 2025 AHL Calder Cup Playoffs bracket.
