The final game of the NHL regular season was on Sunday night forcing the Columbus Blue Jackets and the rest of the league to wait to see what their schedule would be for the Playoffs. A Bruins win would have made them the number one seed in the East and changed some times and dates. But the Bruins lost and the schedule is set.
The Jackets will open against the Capitals on Thursday at 7:30pm on USA network. The Jackets and Caps are notably the only series that doesn’t have a scheduled NBC broadcast out of the Eastern Conference matchup.
