Flyers vs. Capitals: Series begins Friday

The NHL released the schedule for the first round games, and the Flyers and Capitals will begin their 7 game series in Washington on Friday, April 11th. Here is the schedule of games:

Game 1: Friday, April 11, Philadelphia at Washington, 7 p.m.
Game 2: Sunday, April 13, Philadelphia at Washington, 2 p.m.
Game 3: Tuesday, April 15, Washington at Philadelphia, 7 p.m.
Game 4: Thursday, April 17, Washington at Philadelphia, 7 p.m.
Game 5: Saturday, April 19, Philadelphia at Washington, 1 p.m.
Game 6: Monday, April 21, Washington at Philadelphia, TBD
Game 7: Tuesday, April 22, Philadelphia at Washington, TBD

All other first round series begin on Wednesday or Thursday, but for some reason this one has to wait an extra day. The Wizards play in the same building as the Capitals and they have a game against the Celtics on Wednesday, so that could be one reason for the delay.
