As you can see, you’re going to want to get out of work a tiny bit early to give yourself plenty of time to settle in for opening puck drop of the first three games. Game four is a little bit more reasonable of a start time for local fans in both Winnipeg and in Minnesota.
Game four could have been set for Wednesday had the Bruins won their final game of the regular season, but the Wild and Jets get a pair of days off between games four and five, as well as a pair of days off between game six and seven.
The start times for the final three games are going to largely dependent on how many other series are going on at the same time. On the days of games five and six, there will also possibly be a game featuring Pacific division teams which will require an earlier start similar to the first few games of the series.
If the series goes seven games, it’s very possible they will share April 25 with three other game sevens should they go that far.
