Round 2 of the Stanley Cup Playoffs is not completely in the books, but the NHL has released the schedule for the conference finals.
The Toronto Maple Leafs and the Florida Panthers still have a Game 7 to play Sunday night. But regardless of who advances to face the Carolina Hurricanes, the Eastern Conference Final will begin Tuesday.
Game 1 would be in Toronto if the Maple Leafs prevail.
If the Panthers win, Game 1 would be in Raleigh.
In the Western Conference, the Dallas Stars will host Game 1 against the Edmonton Oilers on Wednesday.
The Oilers-Stars matchup is a rematch of last year's Western Conference Final, which Edmonton won in six games.
