A dominant four-goal second period propels the Griffins to a 6-2 victory over San Jose in Game 4 of the Western Conference Finals, moving them within one win of playing for the Calder Cup for the second time in five years. On the strength of Eric Tangradi’s three-point night, the second-largest crowd (8,707) to ever see a conference finals game in Grand Rapids witnesses the Griffins hand San Jose consecutive regulation losses for just the third time all season. Grand Rapids sets a postseason franchise record with its sixth consecutive victory at Van Andel Arena. (Photos)
