The Islanders announced earlier this year that their first-round home games would take place at their original home, where they raised three of their four Stanley Cups and where they returned this year for half of their regular season home schedule. If the Islanders eliminate the Penguins, their second-round home games would take place at Barclays Center. Here’s the full schedule for the first-round series, as the NHL announced its full slate of first-round game on Sunday morning: Game 1: Wednesday, April 10, 7:30 p.m. EDT Game 2: Friday, April 12, 7:30 p.m. EDT Game 3: Sunday, April 14, noon EDT Game 4: Tuesday, April 16, 7:30 p.m. EDT Game 5*: Thursday, April 18, time TBD Game 6*: Saturday, April 20, time TBD Game 7*: Monday, April 22, time TBD *if necessary, yada yada Games 1, 2, 5 and 7 will be at the Coliseum. Fortunately for both teams, there is no weird television-forced three-day break nor back-to-back nights, as sometimes happens when TV needs or Taylor Swift concerts create havoc.<doc-sep>UPDATE 10:30 a.m.: The NHL has announced the Round One playoff schedule. Game 2 will be Friday night. The couch-surfing New York Islanders are in the playoffs but their temporary home is booked next weekend. New York and the Pittsburgh Penguins will begin the 2018-19 playoffs this week, but the logistics could become less than ideal as cartoon characters apparently rented the barn for the entire weekend before anyone considered the Islanders would make the playoffs. A live show of Disney Channel animation PJ Masks will fill the Nassau County Coliseum Friday night, for three shows on Saturday and one Sunday afternoon, which could push the NHL into creative booking. The NHL has billed the beginning of the playoffs as Wednesday, April 10. So, the league will have a few choices regarding Game 2 for the Penguins and Islanders: –Play Game 1 Wednesday, force the arena to cancel PJ Masks on Friday night and risk the wrath of thousands of Long Island mothers. –Play Game 1 Thursday and try to squeeze Game 2 on Sunday night. That would make for a great ice surface, wouldn’t it? –Play Game 1 Wednesday and go back-to-back with Game 2 on Thursday. Or, the NHL could feature the Penguins and Islanders as the lone game on Tuesday night to begin the playoffs, one day early. That is, of course, if the Dodgeball Regional Qualifying Tournament and Grammar Jamboree hasn’t already rented the building. There was some scuttle around PPG Paints Arena the Tuesday solution could happen. The NHL will announce the playoff schedule Sunday. The Penguins secured third place in the Metro Division by virtue of gaining a point in their 4-3 OT loss to the New York Rangers, Saturday night. The Islanders shutout Washington 3-0 to clinch second place. In an NHL only twist, both the Penguins and Islanders were 2-1-1 against each other because each team won and lost in a shootout. The teams have not played since Dec. 10, which is well before the Penguins February trade acquisitions of Nick Bjugstad, Jared McCann, and Erik Gudbranson. The Penguins won the Dec. 10 meeting, 2-1 in a shootout.<doc-sep>
We knew based off results last night that the Pittsburgh Penguins would play the New York Islanders in the first round of the 2019 NHL Stanley Cup playoffs. Thanks to a small cushion, the Isles also earned home ice advantage and will start the series out on Long Island in Nassau Coliseum. Now, with a league announcement, we also know all the dates and some of the start times of these games: Game 1: Wednesday April 10, Pittsburgh Penguins @ New York Islanders; 7:30 p.m., NBCSN Game 2: Friday April 12, Penguins @ Islanders; 7:30 p.m., NBCSN Game 3: Sunday April 14, Islanders @ Penguins; 12:00 p.m., NBC Game 4: Tuesday April 16, Islanders @ Penguins 7:30 p.m., NBCSN Game 5*: Thursday April 18, Penguins @ Islanders, TBD Game 6*: Saturday April 20, Islanders @ Penguins, TBD Game 7*: Monday April 22, Penguins @ Islanders, TBD *If neccessary As Pens’ fans and seasoned 13-time consecutive playoff attendees, we know you always start either Wednesday-Friday or Thursday-Saturday, with different advantages for each scenario. Getting going on that first day should be a great and exciting way to go. This should be a pretty straight-forward schedule, with games every other day and no abnormal breaks. There could be a chance that Game 6 (if necessary) would be during the day time, like Game 3 will be as the first Pens’ home game of the series. The Penguins are the only team in Round 1 with a noon game. Over the upcoming week, we’ll detail all the previews, matchups, and elements to watch for between these two, familiar division rivals to prepare for the most exciting time of year.
