NHL Announces Start Time For Game 5 Between Maple Leafs And Bruins in First-Round Stanley Cup Playoffs Series

Although the schedule for the Toronto Maple Leafs' Stanely Cup Playoffs Series with the Boston Bruins has been out for a little while now, it's common practice for the NHL not to announce any start times beyond the fourth game until it is known that they are necessary.

Late Thursday, the NHL announced that Game 5 in Boston on Apr. 30 will start at 7 p.m. ET

Game 5 was necessary following the Maple Leafs' 3-2 victory against the Bruins in Game 2 of the series.

The Leafs fell 4-2 in Game 3 to the Bruins and now trail the best-of-seven series 2-1. Game 4 is scheduled for Saturday at 8 p.m. ET at Scotiabank Arena. If the Leafs can even up the series, the league is expected to release a start time for Game 6 sometime shortly after.
