Game 1 of the Golden Knights' first-round series against the Winnipeg Jets is set for Tuesday at 6:30 p.m., the league announced tonight.
The dates for the first two games of the best-of-7 series were unveiled Thursday following Vegas' 3-1 win over the Seattle Kraken that clinched the No. 1 seed in the Western Conference.
Game 2 will be Thursday at 7 p.m. The Golden Knights have home-ice advantage throughout the Western Conference playoffs, so long as they keep playing.
The series shifts to Winnipeg for Games 3 and 4, but both teams will have just one day off in-between games. Game 3 (1 p.m.) is on April 22, with Game 4 (6:30 p.m.) on April 24.
Should the series go to a Game 5 back in Las Vegas on April 27, that will be the only time they'll have an extra day off.
The Golden Knights announced Games 1-4 will be broadcast on AT&T SportsNet-Rocky Mountain in local markets.
Check below for the schedule in its entirety. Broadcast info for Games 5-7 will be unveiled should the series reach that far.
