The French D1 Elite league winds up the regular season this weekend with five livestreaming games.
On tap are a pair of key playoff-deciding matchups as in Conference A the defending champion Thonon Black Panthers (3-3-1) head to Paris to face the Asnieres Molosses (3-1-3). Whoever wins this game finishes second in the conference standings and earns home field advantage in the wild card playoff round. The loser winds up third and will face the number two team in Conference B. The two teams tied 34-34 earlier in the season. The Black Panthers have nine points and the Molosses seven. In Conference B, the Toulouse Ours and Cannes Iron Mask will battle for the third and final playoff spot. The two teams are tied with 4-5 records but the Ours defeated Cannes earlier 14-10. The Iron Mask need to win by five points or more.
The Marseille Blue Stars and La Courneuve Flash both have finished first in their respective conferences and qualified for the semifinals on June 16.
