Series history: The Warriors and Hawks will play for the 20th time in 2025, and first since 2022, when Hartford came away with the 3-1 home victory. Prior to that meeting, the teams hadn't met for 36 years after playing 19 consecutive matches over 11 years (1975-1986). Eastern's longest win streak against Hartford is five. Hartford's longest win streak against the Warriors is three. The Warriors will look to prevent losing three straight to UHart since 1986.
