NHL playoff schedule 2017: Friday’s times, TV channels, and how to live stream

There are four games to sink your teeth into this Friday.

Game 2 is usually the time for adjustments for the teams that lost their series opener.

For the Canadiens, that means making life more miserable for Henrik Lundqvist, who saved 31 shots as the Rangers took a 1-0 series lead in Montreal. Also facing a hot goaltender? The Wild, who ran into a brick wall that was Jake Allen in their Game 1 overtime loss against the Blues.

Other teams, like the Oilers, have to reign in their emotions and play crisper, as their mistakes allowed the Sharks to come back from a 2-0 deficit.

The Blue Jackets, meanwhile, started extremely well, but their inability to finish after a solid first period came back to haunt them when the Penguins scored a pair of goals and cruised to a 3-1 finish.

Will any of these teams be able to reverse their fortunes in Game 2? Stick around on Friday and find out.
