If Peterborough wins the best-of-five series, it will be the first time in franchise history that the team has won back-to-back titles. A win also gives them a tie for most championships in league history with four.
The Lakers remain undefeated in the playoffs, sweeping the Huntsville Hawks and Whitby Warriors in a best-of-three series to reach the championship.
Peterborough is on a 15-game winning streak — including regular season and playoffs — and has not lost since a 9-6 defeat from Whitby on May 21.
Trying to stop them are the Burlington Warriors, who squeezed out a game-five road win, defeating the North Shore Kodiaks 10-9 on Sunday.
