The Bruins and Penguins, despite what it might feel like, will eventually start the Eastern Conference finals in Pittsburgh. We now know when they’ll play the rest of the games in the series.
The NHL has announced the schedule for the series between the B’s and the Pens, confirming that the conference finals will begin in Pittsburgh on Saturday night. Puck drop will be at 8 p.m.
There will be a game every other night for just about the entire series, unless of course it goes seven games. If Game 7 is needed, the games will be on back-to-back nights, with Game 6 scheduled for June 11 in Boston and the potential do-or-die game slated for June 12 in Pittsburgh.
