The first two rounds of the 2024 NHL Playoffs are officially behind us, but there's plenty more postseason hockey yet to come. Not a single series was completed in fewer than six games during the Conference Semifinals, as teams battled to earn their place in the Conference Finals.
Now, the stage is officially set for the NHL Conference Finals and action will officially get underway on Wednesday night. With just four teams and two series left until the Stanley Cup Final, we'll break down the schedule for both the Eastern Conference Final and Western Conference Final.
