The Canadian broadcast schedule for the first round series between the Toronto Raptors and Washington Wizards has been released. Or, rather, TSN released their coverage schedule, and we can fill in the holes with Sportsnet ourselves.

There’s no word yet on whether Sportsnet games will be shown exclusively on Sportsnet One as they were all season or if they’ll be offered on other Sportsnet channels as well. It may depend on the NHL schedule.
