Flames and Jets series schedule announced

We don’t have times yet, but we have dates set for the qualifying round series between the Calgary Flames and the Winnipeg Jets.
Per the league, here’s the schedule:
- Game 1: Saturday, August 1
- Game 2: Monday, August 3
- Game 3: Tuesday, August 4
- Game 4: Thursday, August 6 (if necessary)
- Game 5: Saturday August 8 (if necessary)
Times will be released with the broadcast schedule in the coming days. The Flames will be the home team for Games 1, 2 and 5 (if necessary) and have last change, the better bench and the nicer locker room. They were the 8th-best West team in the regular season, while Winnipeg was the 9th-best.
The winner of this series will advance to the Western Conference Quarterfinal round. The playoffs re-seed after every round, so the strongest surviving regular season team plays the weakest surviving team (and so on).
Training camp opens league-wide on Monday.
