Dates and Times Announced for St. Louis Blues-Chicago Blackhawks Playoff Series
We now have the times and dates for the St. Louis Blues-Chicago Blackhawks first round playoff series.
Shortly after the final game of the NHL’s 2015-16 regular season concluded on Sunday evening, the league announced times and dates for the first round of the Stanley Cup playoffs. As one could have inferred due to the Mumford & Sons concert that will take place at Scottrade Center on Saturday night–preventing the Blues from being able to host a game that night at their home arena–the series will begin on Wednesday night.
