First Screen Viewing
Jets vs. Blues – 7pm
It’s the big curtain-raiser tonight, as most teams get on the ice for the first time. That includes the Central’s aristocracy and the team that’s been banging on the windows wondering why the buzzer won’t work. That’s the Blues, who have anted up with Ryan O’Reilly and Tyler Bozak to try and haul in the Jets and Predators. The Jets roll the same crew back that got to the conference final, and are the favorite to do so again out of the Central. Don’t worry, it’s not like Blues fans to overreact to what happens in the first game.
Second Screen Viewing
Flyers vs. Knights – 9pm
No, they’re not bringing Gritty to Vegas. Yes, they should. The Knights will be showing off their new toys in Paul Stastny and Max Pacioretty. The Flyers will have JVR in tow again. Neither team will have a blue line. Should be good stuff.
