Game 4 time announced for Wild, Canucks play-in series

Just when we thought the NHL was going to be nice, they pull out the rug once again from Minnesota Wild fans.

The league announced the game time for the potential series-clinching Game 4 between the Wild and Vancouver Canucks in their play-in matchup... 9:45 p.m. Central.

*sigh*

Time to bust out the coffee grinder and the pour over pot once again.

The Canucks evened up the series at one game apiece in Game 2 on Tuesday night, so no matter what happens during Thursday afternoon’s Game 3 tilt at Rogers Place in Edmonton, the series could be decided in the wee hours of Friday night into Saturday morning. If there is a Game 5, it will take place on Sunday, August 9, though the time for that game has yet to be announced.

Just like every game in this series, you can catch all the action on Fox Sports North and KFAN-100.3 FM. Fans out of state can pick up Game 4 on NBCSN or NHL.TV as well.

And, as always, keep checking out Hockey Wilderness for all of the updates, previews and recaps of the Wild’s trip through the Stanley Cup play-in round.
