The Los Angeles Kings and the Edmonton Oilers are about to get very familiar with one another, with the two teams set to clash in the first round of the 2023 Stanley Cup playoffs.

As is always the case when it comes to the playoffs, fans are eagerly anticipating this meeting between the two squads and on Saturday we received more details regarding when the teams can be expected to play.

The series will kick off this coming Monday when the Kings travel to Edmonton to face the Oilers who have earned home-ice advantage in this series. The Kings will play in Edmonton again on Wednesday before the Oilers travel out to Los Angeles for the third game of the series on Friday. That will then lead into the second game in Los Angeles on the following Sunday, and following that we get into the theoretical games.

Should the game move beyond the 4 mandatory games, we will see a Game 5 on the following Tuesday, Game 6 on the following Saturday for quite a wide gap between 5 and 6, and a Game 7 on the following Monday should it be needed.

Here is a full breakdown:

Monday, April 1710:00pm EST@ Edmonton

Wednesday, April 1910:00pm EST@ Edmonton

Friday, April 2110:00pm EST@ LA

Sunday, April 239:00pm EST@ LA

Tuesday, April 25TBD@ Edmonton

Saturday, April 29TBD@ LA

Monday, May 1TBD@ Edmonton

The NHL has listed the start times for these games in ET, so do keep that in mind before tuning in to any of these games.

The Boston Bruins and the Florida Panthers are set to clash in the first round of the Stanley Cup playoffs and now we have a better idea of how the series will play out.

On Saturday, the National Hockey League released the full schedule for the upcoming series with the notable exception of the exact start time for games 5, 6, and 7 likely due to the fact that they might not be needed should one team or the other dominate the series.

The Bruins and their impressive record this season have earned home ice advantage and that means that the first two games will take place in Boston on Monday and Wednesday. Following the conclusion of Game 2 on Wednesday, the Bruins will then travel to Florida for a pair of games, the first of which will be on Friday and the second of which will be on Sunday.

Should the series require more than 4 games, the series will head back to Boston the following Wednesday for Game 5, back to Florida on the following Friday for Game 6, and finally back to Boston on the following Sunday should Game 7 be required.
