Four Game 4s will be the order of the night on Thursday in the 2012 NHL Playoffs.
Four Game 4s dot the Thursday night schedule in the 2012 NHL Playoffs. And the early window will be crowded, with pucks dropping in three cities within an hour of each other.
The earliest game of the night takes place in the Meadowlands: the Florida Panthers will look to continue the momentum of its comeback victory in Game 3 and take a 3-1 advantage on the New Jersey Devils in a game beginning at 7 p.m. Eastern. The other Eastern Conference game of the night follows in short order, at 7:30 p.m., with the Washington Capitals trying to even the series to a 2-2 tie in a home game against the Boston Bruins.
Out west, the Phoenix Coyotes can get a 3-1 lead on the Chicago Blackhawks by sweeping two road games in the Windy City if they win their 8 p.m. tussle. And the nightcap, at 10:30 p.m., features the St. Louis Blues looking to push the San Jose Sharks to the brink of elimination.
