The NHL Stanley Cup Playoffs officially begin tonight, as four series kick off action:
- The Sens/Habs start tonight in the battle of the goaltenders at 7pm on NHLN.
- The Isles and Caps are on USA/MSG+ at 7pm as well in a series that will likely have more shot attempts than the other seven series combined.
- The Hawks and Preds are up at 8:30pm on NBCSN. These are the 2 and 3 seeds in the Central, just showing how brutal that division is.
- Finally the Canucks and Flames drop the puck at 10pm on USA in a series that has everyone saying “I can’t believe both of them made the playoffs.
