The Florida Panthers and Boston Bruins will square off in the Stanley Cup Playoffs for the second consecutive season. Late Saturday night, the NHL announced the full series schedule.
Game 1 will be Monday night in Sunrise at 8 on ESPN.
That much we knew.
Although the NHL took its time getting times out, we know when Games 2-4 will be as well.
Game 2 will also be at Amerant Bank Arena on Wednesday at 7:30.
Sunday night, following Dallas’ 2-1 win over the Golden Knights, the times for Games 2 and 3 came out: Game 2 will be at 7:30; Game 3 in Boston will be at 7.
Sunday’s Game 4 will be at 6:30 p.m. on TBS.
The Bruins will play host to Games 3 and 4 (Friday and Sunday). If necessary, Game 6 would also be in Boston on Friday, May 17.
Games 5 (May 14) and 7 (May 19) would be back in Sunrise.
If necessary, of course.
In the playoffs last year, the Panthers took three of the four games in Boston — including the final three.
