The NHL released the schedules for the Conference Finals Saturday night now that three of the four teams have advanced.
While the Western Conference matchup is set (Dallas Stars vs. Edmonton Oilers and starting Wednesday May 21), the Carolina Hurricanes are still waiting to see who they’ll play between the Toronto Maple Leafs and Florida Panthers.
Game 7 in that series is tonight.
However, the NHL has released schedules for both scenarios and while the dates and times will be the same for each, what will change is which arena will be played at when.
If Toronto advances, the series will be as follows:
Game 1: Tuesday, May 20 (8 p.m.) @ Scotiabank Arena
Game 2: Thursday, May 22 (8 p.m.) @ Scotiabank Arena
Game 3: Saturday, May 24 (8 p.m.) @ Lenovo Center
Game 4: Monday, May 26 (8 p.m.) @ Lenovo Center
Game 5: Wednesday, May 28 (8 p.m.) @ Scotiabank Arena
Game 6: Friday, May 30 (8 p.m.) @ Lenovo Center
Game 7: Sunday, June 1 (8 p.m.) @ Scotiabank Arena
If Florida advances, the series will be as follows:
Game 1: Tuesday, May 20 (8 p.m.) @ Lenovo Center
Game 2: Thursday, May 22 (8 p.m.) @ Lenovo Center
Game 3: Saturday, May 24 (8 p.m.) @ Amerant Bank Arena
Game 4: Monday, May 26 (8 p.m.) @ Amerant Bank Arena
Game 5: Wednesday, May 28 (8 p.m.) @ Lenovo Center
Game 6: Friday, May 30 (8 p.m.) @ Amerant Bank Arena
Game 7: Sunday, June 1 (8 p.m.) @ Lenovo Center
Florida is the last team remaining that the Hurricanes can have home-ice advantage over, so perhaps them and their perfect home record (5-0) would prefer the Panthers, but they’re also the defending champions for a reason.
We’ll just have to wait and see who that opponent ends up being.
