NHL announces complete Kraken-Stars playoff schedule
The Stanley Cup playoffs return to Seattle on Sunday and Tuesday.
The NHL released more second-round dates Tuesday before Game 1 between the Kraken and Dallas Stars in Texas. Game 3 is Sunday at 6:30 p.m. (TBS) and Game 4 is Tuesday at the same time (ESPN), both at Climate Pledge Arena.
There was a Storm exhibition game scheduled for Tuesday at Climate Pledge Arena, but the WNBA team tweeted that it was working with the Phoenix Mercury to reschedule. It was later moved to Monday at 7 p.m.
“Good luck to the @SeattleKraken in the second round of the Stanley Cup playoffs!” the Storm announcement was captioned.
Game 5, if necessary, would be Thursday, May 11. Should the series shift back to Seattle for Game 6, Seattle would host another weekend game — Saturday, May 13, at a time to be determined.
If the Kraken’s series goes seven games like their first against the Colorado Avalanche did, it would be a Monday-night tilt on ESPN.

Game 2 in Dallas was previously announced for Thursday but now has a start time and channel — 6:30 p.m. on ESPN.
Hours before puck drop, 300-level tickets for Game 1 in Dallas started at $57 on Ticketmaster, and $80 for Game 2. The cheapest ticket for Game 3 at Climate Pledge Arena was $294, and $20 cheaper for Game 4.
With Alaska Airlines offering $99 one-way flights to Dallas from Seattle all week, one could feasibly travel to Game 2 for less than a ticket in Seattle would cost.
