We have a few press releases to post before dinnertime on the East Coast and I’ve been unable to get these to you until now.
This is the slate of games on the NBC Sports Group for Day 6 of the NHL Stanley Cup Playoffs. Three games tonight, two on NBC Sports Network and one on CNBC. Boston-Washington and St. Louis-San Jose are on NBCSN while New York Rangers at Ottawa heads to CNBC.
