The 2014 Stanley Cup Playoffs starts Wednesday, April 16.
The NHL has a new playoff format this year, but the television schedule is the same as usual. In the United States, games will air on NBC, NBCSN, CNBC and the NHL Network. In Canada, games will air on CBC and, for the final time, TSN.
The postseason begins with three games on April 16. CNBC kicks things off with Canadiens/Lightning Game 1 and NBCSN airs Blue Jackets/Penguins and Stars/Ducks. NBC gets into the picture on April 19, with Game 2 between the Blackhawks and Blues. The network then airs a doubleheader on April 20 featuring Game 2 of the Flyers/Rangers and Red Wings/Bruins series.
The first round is scheduled to conclude April 30, with up to five Game 7s.
