Wild-Golden Knights Game 5: Start time, TV and radio revealed

Originally posted on Bring Me The News | Last updated Apr 27, 2025 11:40 AM ET

At least Minnesota Wild fans won't have to stay up quite as late this time around.

After Sunday's overtime heartbreaker, the Wild will look to get back on track in their first-round Western Conference playoff series against the Vegas Golden Knights in Game 5, which is now scheduled for an 8:30 p.m. CT puck drop on Tuesday in Vegas.

The game will be televised on both ESPN and FanDuel Sports North. Listeners can find the game on KFXN-FM 100.3 or other KFAN affiliate stations throughout the state.

Start time for Game 5 of the #mnwild #StanleyCupPlayoffs First Round series at the Vegas Golden Knights is 8:30 p.m. CT on @FanDuelSN_NOR, @espn and @KFAN1003.

Game 5 at least has a more reasonable start time than Game 2, a scheduled 10 p.m. puck drop this past Tuesday, though the game didn't actually start until 10:15 p.m.

Vegas tied the series at 2-2 with Sunday's overtime victory, making the best-of-seven series anyone's for the taking. There will be a Game 6 at Xcel Energy Center in St. Paul, Minn., on Friday, but start time and network for that game are yet to be announced.

Should the series need a deciding Game 7, that would take place Saturday in Vegas.

But up first is Game 5 Tuesday, where the Wild will look to steal another on the road.
