Vegas Golden Knights vs. Minnesota Wild: Date, time, and channels

Are you ready for some hockey? Do you want to see Jack Eichel cause the outdoor temperatures to rise by 20 degrees with his awesome play? You're in luck because it's time to prepare for the Stanley Cup playoffs, Las Vegas. Once again, the Vegas Golden Knights are in the mix for the seventh time in eight seasons. But this time is a little different.

Last season saw the team go head-to-head with Pete DeBoer's Dallas Stars, who made it to the Western Conference Final. The series went seven games before the Golden Knights eventually fell. This season will feature a Pacific Division-winning team that has home-ice advantage in the first two rounds. Their opponents? The Minnesota Wild.

The Wild fended off the surging Calgary Flames to grab one of two wild card spots in the Western Conference. Meanwhile, the St. Louis Blues grabbed the other spot, where they'll face the Winnipeg Jets. That could be a series that sees a major upset since the Blues are 13-2-1 in their last 16 games.

But enough about St. Louis! This is about the Golden Knights and their quest for a second Stanley Cup. They must get past an old friend (Marc-Andre Fleury, who probably won't see any time) and defeat the Wild to advance.

When does the action start, though? Where can fans tune in to see their beloved hockey team take on a group from the "State of Hockey?" Have no fear because Vegas Hockey Knight's here!

Vegas Golden Knights and Minnesota Wild: A breakdown of the dates, times, and channels

Games 1, 2, 5, and 7 will be played at T-Mobile Arena. The Vegas Golden Knights have more points than the Minnesota Wild, meaning they get home-ice advantage for the first round. But when does the action start?

Remember that WrestleMania 41 is in town, meaning that T-Mobile Arena will have dibs on Monday Night Raw the night after Game 1. Therefore, the Golden Knights won't play the Wild on that day. But one thing you'll notice is the 8 PM PST start on Tuesday. That translates over to 10 PM CST for people in Minnesota, which is rough viewing.

Could that factor into the series via jet lag? That remains to be seen. But you don't care too much about that. Instead, you're wondering where you can watch the action. Here's the thing: Knighttime+ is offering a sweet deal of $19.99 for the first round. You can access other content for that price, too. It's a sweetheart deal for fans looking to avoid the national broadcasts.

But let's say that doesn't matter to you too much. You're exhausted from seeing endless subtitles even after turning them off. Maybe you don't want to see the settings button on the right side of your screen. Have no fear because here's the national television schedule! Keep in mind that this is for the first four games only.

Regardless of whether you want to deal with Knighttime+ being a jerk or endless droning about LeBron James taking a dump, the first-round matchup will be exciting. Traffic might be complicated given WrestleMania weekend. However, Golden Knights fans will go to great lengths to watch their favorite team play in the Stanley Cup playoffs. Don't underestimate them, hockey world!
