Vegas Golden Knights center Jack Eichel (9) and center Chandler Stephenson (20) skate for the puck while Winnipeg Jets center Mark Scheifele (55) grimaces after being hit in the face with a stick during the second period of an NHL hockey game, Sunday, Oct. 30, 2022, in Las Vegas.
Friday, April 14, 2023 | 8:29 p.m.
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.
