The team announced playoff games against the Florida Panthers in their Eastern Conference Round 1 series will air on either CBS Radio's WFAN 660 AM/101.9 FM or WCBS Newsradio 880, starting Thursday night on WCBS 880 for Game 1 at [Bed, Bank & Beyond or something] Center in Sunrise, Florida. Regular announcers Chris King and Greg Picker will have the call.
