Game 1: Red Wings (1-3) vs. Lightning (3-1)
When: 4 p.m. PST
TV: NBC Sports
Stream: Live Extra
Why you should watch: Even without Steven Stamkos, the Lightning have vastly outplayed the Wings throughout most of this series. Now back at Amalie Arena, the Bolts can end this first round series in short order while the Wings fight to bring it back to Detroit.
Game 2: Penguins (2-1) vs. Rangers (1-2)
When: 4 p.m. PST
TV: CNBC
Stream: Live Extra
Why you should watch: Somehow we’re only in the third game of this series. The second game at MSG provides the Penguins an opportunity to all but put the pesky Rangers away, while a win for New York could make things very interesting.
Game 3: Ducks (1-2) vs. Predators (2-1)
When: 5 p.m. PST
TV: NHL Network
Stream: :((((
Why you should watch: We’re watching this series for one reason and one reason only: to see the Ducks lose. Right? Who’s with me?
Game 4: Blackhawks (1-3) vs. Blues (3-1)
When: 6:30 p.m. PST
TV: NBC Sports
Stream: Live Extra
Why you should watch: Somehow, some way, the Blues are just a win away from knocking Chicago out of the playoffs. This series has been a lot of fun, and I doubt we’ve seen the last of the fireworks that the first four games provided.
