MOLINE, Ill. (April 8, 2014) - The Return of $1 Dog/$1 Beer Friday presented by 97X and an outdoor pre-game party Saturday night highlight a week that will see the Quad City Mallards hit the ice for three playoff games in four nights at the iWireless Center.
The Mallards tomorrow night at 7:05 p.m. play their first home postseason game of 2014. The Mallards will meet the Rapid City Rush in game three of the best-of-seven opening round of the Central Hockey League President's Cup playoffs having split the first two games of the series last weekend in Rapid City. All tickets to tomorrow night's game other than glass seats are available for just $2. In addition, the first 3,000 fans through the doors for tomorrow night's game will receive free Mallards playoff rally towels.
Friday evening brings not only game four between the Mallards and Rush but also the return of the Mallards' popular $1 Dog/$1 Dollar Beer Night presented by 97X. While Friday's contest will face off at 7:05 p.m., iWireless Center doors will open at 6:00 p.m. and $1 beers will be available at arena concession stands from 6:00 to 8:00 p.m. $1 hot dogs will be available throughout the game.
