The NHL released the schedule for the conference finals. Here's when and where to watch the games.
The NHL released the schedule scenarios for the Stanley Cup playoff conference finals on Thursday.
The Eastern Conference final will begin on Thursday, May 21.
That means the Carolina Hurricanes will have 11 days without a game between their Game 4 win against the Philadelphia Flyers and Game 1 of the third round.
The Western Conference final will begin on Wednesday, May 20, between the Colorado Avalanche and the Vegas Golden Knights.
TNT, truTV and HBO Max will broadcast the Eastern Conference final in the United States, while the ESPN crew will cover the Western Conference final. Sportsnet and French-language channel TVA Sports will have all the games in Canada, and CBC is currently slated to show all the games except for one in the Eastern Conference final.
