With Vegas and SAN Jose comfortably resting, is there a chance their series could start wedsnesday night even with potential game sevens schedule for that night? Rare for rounds to overlap but it has happened recently. A more logical start date would be the Thursday.

If preds were to wrap up their series today what day would we be looking at for the jets preds series?

East looks headed for a decent shot at a 7 game series, so it’s a little harder to predict when the first round 2 game would take place.

Game 1 is Wednesday. At least according to Stubhub.

It depends on how the next 2 days go for playoff games. If there's a game 7 in the East, it'll start on Thursday for Sharks/Knights. If the Avs force a game 7, Jets vs Preds/Avs wouldn't likely be until friday.

Rambling ahead:

If the Pens and Preds win today, Vegas/San Jose is starting likely on Thursday at the latest.

If the Avs win today, Game 1 of Jets vs Preds/Avs is likely to be Thursday/Friday

On the east side, if Columbus and Philly force game 7s, earliest the metro 2nd round final could be would be Friday. However if both metro series ends in 6, it's likely to be on Thursday. If Philly wins but not Columbus for game 6, thursday is still likely. If Columbus but not Philly, wins game 6, then it's probably friday night.

With boston/toronto, if there's a game 7, decent chance they push game 1 back to Saturday night at 8PM following the lottery vs Tampa to get the best ratings, with the metro final game 1 likely Friday night. And I think since San Jose/Vegas is the only remaining series with 10:00 or later start times, game 2 would be saturday since it could be a doubleheader
