The Carolina Chaos and Boston Cannons are set to face off against each other in the quarterfinals of the Playoffs. If history between these teams is anything to go by, it will be a war on Monday at Gillette Stadium.
In their last three meetings, these teams have fought tooth and nail, with each contest being decided by a single possession and characterized by intense, physical play. This close competition is a testament to the well-matched squads taking the field.
The 4-6 Carolina enters the postseason in a somewhat familiar position. Since the league's inception in 2019, they’ve not made the playoffs with a winning record. While the correlation is unclear, Carolina has often thrived when entering the playoffs with low expectations, with a fan base that's vocal yet not overly large.
On the other hand, the Cannons have struggled to score more than a dozen goals in just two games this season—a 9-7 defeat to California and their recent win over Carolina. This might give the Chaos a glimmer of hope, as they might focus on disrupting Boston’s offense and turning the game into a low-scoring, defensive battle.

Carolina Chaos Team News
Ahead of their quarterfinal clash with the No. 3 seed Cannons at Gillette Stadium on Monday, the Carolina Chaos have been hit with a significant setback. Four-time All-Star close defenseman Jack Rowlett will be sidelined for one game due to a suspension for an illegal bodycheck he committed in their regular-season finale.
Carolina's defense, which leads the league in goals allowed per game (11.0) through 10 regular-season matches, will be without Rowlett. The task of filling his shoes will fall to undrafted rookie Jack Posey, who has appeared in three games this season, alongside seasoned defenders Jarrod Neumann and Will Bowen.
