The first two games will be hosted by the Wranglers, with the third game in Utah. Here's the schedule as announced by the Utah Grizzlies:

Game 2; Wednesday: Utah at Las Vegas, 8:05 p.m.
Game 3; Saturday: Las Vegas at Utah, 7:05 p.m.

***Game 5; Tuesday: April 13: Las Vegas at Utah, 7:05 p.m.

**If Necessary**

The Grizzlies have a pretty good record against Vegas this year, which is kind of what worries us. While Utah does have a 10-4 record against the Wranglers this season, they haven't played Vegas since February 1. And in those two months, the Wranglers have made quite the run for the playoffs, including a sweep of the Player of the Week awards for March 8-14.

We're pretty sure that Colley and Curcio are taking this into account while preparing for the playoffs, but with only 3 wins needed to move up, each round has the potential to be lethal to the Grizzlies' Kelly Cup dreams. This is definitely going to be a nail-biter of a run.


But we're mostly excited that hockey isn't yet over for the season. We're guaranteed at least one more home game this year, and we'll take it.
