The NHL playoffs are skating through the first round with three games taking place on Wednesday, April 22. Hockey fans can tune into the Pittsburgh Penguins at Philadelphia Flyers, Dallas Stars at Minnesota Wild and the Anaheim Ducks at the Edmonton Oilers. Each game will be available to watch live on Sling.
The Flyers lead their series 2-0, which is tough news for Penguin fans. But, the NHL playoffs are a best-of-seven series, so there’s still hope. Dallas at Minnesota is also heading for Game 3, but that series is tied. While Anaheim vs. Edmonton is only heading into Game 2, after the Oilers won the first game. It’ll be a late evening for hockey fans with the puck dropping for the first game at 7 p.m. ET and the last game scheduled to start at 10 p.m. ET, but you can watch all three NHL playoff games on Sling.
Here’s everything you need to know to watch the NHL playoffs today on Sling:
