ST. LOUIS (KMOX) - The St. Louis Blues opponent for the 2nd Round of the Stanley Cup Playoffs has been set and now so have the start times for Games 1 through 5.
Games 1 and 2 will be played in St. Louis, beginning with Thursday's game at 8:30 p.m. and then Saturday will be a 2 p.m. puck drop.
The Blues defeated the Winnipeg Jets in six games to advance, while the Stars took down the Nashville Predators also in six games.
This means St. Louis will welcome home goalie Ben Bishop, a Vezina Trophy finalist who had a playoff career-high 47 saves to finish off the Predators, will be facing his hometown team, and the one that drafted him 14 years ago."I've been trying not to think about it, obviously trying to worry about this series,'' Bishop said. "It kind of gets a smile.''If Vegas wins Game 7 at San Jose in the remaining first-round Western Conference series Tuesday night, all four lower seeds will have advanced.
