The PWHL playoffs were set on Sunday and the Minnesota Frost, who snuck into the tournament thanks to back-to-back wins to close the regular season, are the No. 4 seed and will face the second-seeded Toronto Sceptres in the first round.

What's interesting about the matchup is that the PWHL's No. 1 seed, the Montreal Victoire, were given the right to choose their first-round opponent and instead of selecting the low seed Frost, they went with third-seeded Ottawa.

Minnesota and Toronto split the regular season series three games apiece.

Here's the best-of-five series schedule, beginning with Game 1 Wednesday night.

  • Game 1: Wednesday, May 7 at Toronto, 6 p.m. CT
  • Game 2: Friday, May 9 at Toronto, 6 p.m. CT
  • Game 3: Sunday, May 11 at Minnesota, 5 p.m. CT
  • Game 4: Wednesday, May 14 at Minnesota, 6 p.m. CT
  • Game 5: Saturday, May 17 at Toronto, time TBD

Prime Video will carry all of the first-round games between the Frost and Sceptres, in additional to FanDuel Sports Network North handling the local television broadcast.

The winners of the PWHL semifinal series will advance to the best-of-five PWHL Finals.
