Late last night, the NHL released the playoff schedules for all first round matchups. As expected, the Predators vs. Blackhawks series will begin on Thursday.
From the Preds website:
- Game 1: Thursday, April 13th (7 PM)
- Game 2: Saturday, April 15th (7 PM)
- Game 3: Monday, April 17th (8:30 PM)
- Game 4: Thursday, April 20th (Time TBD)
- Game 5: Saturday, April 22nd (Time TBD)
- Game 6: Monday, April 24th (Time TBD)
- Game 7: Wednesday, April 26th (Time TBD)/
So there you go.
The oddest part of the schedule is that two day gap between Game 3 and Game 4. We can thank Neil Diamond for that.
Other than that, this looks pretty typical. Gotta love those 8:30 start times on a Monday, eh?
