By the Numbers: Looking at Game 4 of the NHSL Finals

The first NHSL season could all come to an end on Friday night.

The NHSL Championship Trophy will be in the building as the Adelaide Xtreme look to close out the best-of-five series. They hold a 2-1 series lead.

It's been a memorable championship battle. Both teams won an overtime game by a 3-2 scoreline. In Game 3, Xander Wardlaw scored five goals en route to a 6-4 Xtreme win. 

Now they can end it on Friday.
