London finished with 104 points, and Plymouth had 103. Thus, the Knights earned home-ice advantage.
But the Whalers won the season series 3-1, including both games at London.
“You always like to play at home,” Whalers coach Michael Vellucci said. “The kids have set routines. You also have to get breaks in your own building, and we had three overtime winners during the playoffs.
“London’s a tough test for us. It’s a tough building to play in with 9,100 people in it.”
