Game 1 of the first-round playoff series between the Pittsburgh Penguins and Philadelphia Flyers will happen on Saturday.

The NHL announced a start time of 8 p.m. but in reality, the opening faceoff at PPG Paints Arena will happen a handful of minutes after that.

As for the rest of the series, that will be announced at an undetermined time.

With three teams in the Western Conference still trying to determine their seedings on Thursday evening, the NHL has yet to release full schedules for all eight series of the opening rounds.

The Penguins will open the postseason with home-ice advantage against the Flyers.
