2024 NHL Playoffs bracket: Stanley Cup Playoffs schedule, scores, start times for Rangers-Panthers series

The Edmonton Oilers held off the host Vancouver Canucks in their 3-2 win in Game 7 Monday night, and so the conference finals field is set. The NHL’s final four guarantees that this year’s champion will be a team that hasn’t hoisted the cup in a generation — if ever.

The Florida Panthers are seeking their first title since joining the league, but in order to do that they’ll need to take out the league’s top team this season, the New York Rangers, who coincidentally last won the Cup in 1994, the season the Panthers joined the league. The Eastern Conference Final will start on Wednesday in New York’s Madison Square Garden.

The Western Conference Final, between the Dallas Stars and the Oilers will begin on Thursday in Dallas’ American Airlines Center. Of the four remaining teams, Dallas has won the Cup most recently, skating with it in 1999. Historically, Edmonton is, of course, no stranger to Lord Stanley, having won five since 1984, but none since 1990, which technically means the Oilers’ drought is even longer than that of the Panthers.
