Here’s the full TV schedule for the Stanley Cup Playoffs 2018 series between the Tampa Bay Lightning and Boston Bruins

The second round of the Stanley Cup Playoffs 2018 will feature an Atlantic Division battle between the Tampa Bay Lightning and Boston Bruins. This is the first time the two teams will face off since the 2010-11 Eastern Conference Finals. Boston won that series and went on to win the Stanley Cup.

Going into the series, Tampa Bay will be very well-rested. Game 1 will be on Saturday, April 28, so they will have gone a full week without playing. Tampa Bay eliminated the New Jersey Devils on Saturday, April 21.

Now that the second-round matchups are officially set, the rest of the series schedule has been released. Let’s take a look at the TV schedule for the Lightning and Bruins.

Tampa Bay and Boston were the two best regular season teams in the Eastern Conference. So expect this series to be an exciting one. Both teams have postseason experience. However, the Bruins are a bit more exhausted than their adversaries, seeing as how it took them until Wednesday, April 25 to beat the Toronto Maple Leafs.

Expect Sunday’s game to be on NBC. The only other game scheduled that day is between the Vegas Golden Knights and San Jose Sharks. That one should get a prime-time slot during the evening. This leaves the daytime prime-time slot for Tampa Bay and Boston.
