Rangers, Hurricanes to kick off Round 2 on Sunday
The New York Rangers and Carolina Hurricanes will begin Round 2 of the Stanley Cup Playoffs with Game 1 at Madison Square Garden on Sunday with a time to be determined, the league announced Friday.
The Florida Panthers will start their second round on Monday at a time to be determined. The defending Eastern Conference champions await the winner of Saturday's Game 7 between the Boston Bruins and Toronto Maple Leafs.
The Western Conference playoffs remain behind, so their Round 2 start dates have yet to be decided. The Colorado Avalanche will take on the winner between the Dallas Stars and the Vegas Golden Knights, where the former leads the series 3-2. The Edmonton Oilers are waiting on either the Nashville Predators or the Vancouver Canucks. Vancouver holds a 3-2 lead in that series.
