Winnipeg Jets fans can now keep the party going for a little longer during the opening round of the playoffs.

It’s up to the team to give them a reason to celebrate now.

The Liquor and Gaming Authority of Manitoba announced it is allowing licensees to serve liquor until 3:00 a.m. on game days during the NHL playoff series between the Winnipeg Jets and the Anaheim Ducks.

What that means: establishments can serve booze for an extra hour. Bars and lounges can now remain open until 4:00 a.m.

The changes go into effect tonight, when the Jets host the Ducks at MTS Centre. Puck drop is just after 8 o’clock. The Ducks lead the best-of-seven series 2-0.

Further dates for the extended hours include all game days -- Wednesday (Apr. 22), Friday (Apr. 24), Sunday (Apr. 26) and next Tuesday (Apr. 28), depending on the length of the series.

Manitoba Liquor & Lotteries will also allow VLTs to operate until 3:00 a.m. on those days.

Please note: the choice to extend serving and operation hours is up to the individual licensee.
