With two tantalizing Game 7s to come, this season's Stanley Cup combatants have yet to be determined. But you can start canceling plans right now.
The NHL released its schedule for the Stanley Cup Final on Thursday, with Game 1's puck drop slated for Wednesday, June 3.
Here's the complete schedule, with all start times firm at 8 p.m. ET:
| Game | Date |
|---|---|
| Game 1 | Wednesday, June 3 |
| Game 2 | Saturday, June 6 |
| Game 3 | Monday, June 8 |
| Game 4 | Wednesday, June 10 |
| Game 5* | Saturday, June 13 |
| Game 6* | Monday, June 15 |
| Game 7* | Wednesday, June 17 |
* if necessary
The New York Rangers would own home ice advantage regardless of the team that emerges from the Western Conference Final, but should the Tampa Bay Lightning advance from the East, they will carry the advantage over the Chicago Blackhawks - not the Anaheim Ducks.
