The second round of the NHL’s Stanley Cup playoffs will start Monday night when the defending champion Florida Panthers visit the Toronto Maple Leafs.
That will be followed by two games on Tuesday night as the Carolina Hurricanes visit the Washington Capitals and the Edmonton Oilers visit the Vegas Golden Knights.
The Florida-Toronto and Edmonton-Vegas series are repeats of 2023 matchups won by the Panthers and Golden Knights before they eventually met in the Stanley Cup Final.
The fourth series won’t be determined until after Sunday night’s Game 7 between the Winnipeg Jets and the St. Louis Blues. The winner will face the Dallas Stars.
Here are the playoff matchups, schedule and results for the second round of the NHL’s Stanley Cup playoffs (all times p.m. ET, series are best of seven):
