The seven-game series will begin at 7 p.m.

The sixth-seeded Chiefs (36-30-2-0) will play two games on the road against the third-seeded Cougars (44-22-2-0) on Friday and Saturday, before returning to the Arena for home games on Monday and Wednesday. Game 5, if necessary, would be Thursday, April 2 at the Arena.
