Toronto’s Scotiabank Arena and Rogers Place in Edmonton will be busy once the calendar turns to August.
According to TSN’s Bob McKenzie, the Qualifying Round, which will consist of a total of eight best-of-five series featuring the teams seeded 5 through 12 in each conference, and the Seeding Round, which is a round-robin bracket for the top four teams in each conference, will take place concurrently, with three games being played in each arena every day at noon, 4 p.m. and 8 p.m. local time. The games in Edmonton will start two hours after the games in Toronto.
