The NHL has released an updated schedule following the postponement of Thursday and Friday's playoff contests.
The league followed the NBA and other professional sports in pausing all games in response to the police shooting of Jacob Blake. The decision was ignited by the Hockey Diversity Alliance, co-headed by Akim Aliu and Evander Kane, who challenged the league to take action.
Play will resume with Game 4 between the Tampa Bay Lightning and Boston Bruins on Saturday at 12 p.m. ET. Below is the updated schedule for each of the four remaining series:
