The 2019 NHL playoffs begin Wednesday night and Grande Prairie product and former Storm Captain Tanner Fritz will be hoping to help his team make a lengthy playoff run.

Fritz was called up from the AHL back in March as the Islanders continue to deal with injury problems.

The Grande Prairie product has appeared in 8 games with the Islanders this season and has registered one assist.

The other NHL 1st round series which begins Wednesday includes Columbus in Tampa Bay, Winnipeg hosting St.Louis, Dallas visiting Nashville, and San Jose welcoming Vegas.
