The Stanley Cup Playoffs return to Vancouver this Sunday. The NHL has released its playoff schedule, with the Vancouver Canucks hosting Game 1 of their best-of-seven series against the Nashville Predators on Sunday at 7 pm.
It’ll be the first Canucks playoff game held at Rogers Arena in nine years.

Game 2 will take place two nights later, on April 23. The series shifts to Nashville April 26 and 28. Game 5 in Vancouver (April 30), Game 6 in Nashville (May 3), and Game 7 in Vancouver (May 5) will be held if necessary.
Schedule makers had to deal with a busy concert schedule at Rogers Arena and at Bridgestone Arena in Nashville. A Tim McGraw concert in Nashville may be the reason for a two-day break in between Game 2 and Game 3.
Should the series go to seven games, the Canucks will host it in the middle of Pearl Jam’s visit. Pearl Jam plays Rogers Arena May 4 and 6, with Game 7 taking place May 5.
