The NBA Final's game 5 is tonight, game 6 is Thursday, and game 7 will be Sunday, if it's needed.
So, that leaves Tuesday or Wednesday for Game One of the Stanley Cup Final and Friday or Saturday for Game Two.
Game 2 on Saturday was likely the broadcast preference and Tuesday to Saturday is a pretty long gap between the first two games (especially when the schedule goes to every other night after Game 2). So, that likely drove the decision to have the series start on Wednesday.
