Stanley Cup Playoffs: Full first-round schedule between Blackhawks-Predators

Share

The Blackhawks’ first-round series against the Nashville Predators is set. While those 8:30 p.m. Central starts aren’t completely gone, they appear diminished at the moment.

The Blackhawks will open their series against the Nashville Predators at 7 p.m. on Thursday at the United Center. Game 2 will be Saturday at 7 p.m. The series shifts to Nashville for Games 3 and 4, which will be April 17 and April 20, respectively. The April 17 game is slated for 8:30 p.m. Central but the April 20 game time has yet to be determined.

Having normal starts for two of the first three contests is a welcome change. The past few postseasons the Blackhawks and their Central Division foes have dealt with the much later start times.
