After securing a first round bye, the squad holding its final practice inside of FNC earlier today.
The Black Wolves have some momentum, winning their playoff opener, but during the regular season, Buffalo won two of three against their division foes.
"In the regular season we worked well and we did a good job, but that means squat right now," Head Coach Troy Cordingley said.
