NHL playoff bracket: 2025 schedule, times, scores, TV for second-round series
The NHL's second round is over, and the result is some familiar-looking conference finals.
The defending champion Florida Panthers routed the Toronto Maple Leafs in Game 7 on Sunday night to reach the Eastern Conference final for the third year in a row. They will face the Carolina Hurricanes, starting on Tuesday night in Raleigh, North Carolina.
Those teams met in the 2023 conference final, with Florida advancing in a sweep.
The Dallas Stars ousted the No. 1 overall Winnipeg Jets on Saturday and will now host the Edmonton Oilers in a repeat of the 2024 Western Conference final. The Oilers won in six games last year.
Here are the 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):
