NHL Releases Second Round Playoff Schedule as the Wild Take On the Blackhawks

The Minnesota Wild have been knocked out of the playoffs the past couple of years by the Chicago Blackhawks. We will find out later this week if things will be different.

The NHL finally released the schedule for the Wild / Blackhawks series, which begins Friday in Chicago, including where games will be televised:

• Friday, May 1            8:30 p.m. (central)        Minnesota at Chicago         NBCSN
• Sunday, May 3          7:30 p.m.  (central)       Minnesota at Chicago         NBCSN
• Tuesday, May 5         7:00 p.m. (central)       Chicago at Minnesota          NBCSN
• Thursday, May 7        8:30 p.m. (central)       Chicago at Minnesota          NBCSN
• *Saturday, May 9       TBD                             Minnesota at Chicago         TBD
• *Monday, May 11       TBD                             Chicago at Minnesota         TBD
• *Wednesday, May 13 TBD                             Minnesota at Chicago        TBD*If Necessary

This should be another competitive, drama-filled series.  I predict the Wild finally come out on top and knock Chicago out of the playoffs in six games.
