Sportsnet releases schedule for first round of Stanley Cup Playoffs

The NHL’s playoff picture did not get locked in until the final game of the last night of the regular season.

As the Colorado Avalanche defeated the Nashville Predators 4-3 on Friday night, they clinched the top spot in the Central Division to set a best-of-seven matchup against the Seattle Kraken, thus solidifying all of the Stanley Cup Playoff’s first-round series.

The playoffs start Monday with all games on Sportsnet and Sportsnet NOW.

The Edmonton Oilers are the first Canadian team to play as they host the Los Angeles Kings in a first-round rematch on Monday. The Toronto Maple Leafs open their series at home in a first-round rematch against the visiting Tampa Bay Lightning while the Winnipeg Jets are in Vegas to battle the Golden Knights on Tuesday.

Here is the first-round schedule.
