NHL Playoffs: Full Stanley Cup Final schedule, TV, stream, start time
The NHL has announced the full schedule for the final round of the 2018 Stanley Cup Playoffs, though there’s still one game left to go in the Eastern Conference Final.
The Washington Capitals forced a Game 7 with the Tampa Bay Lightning on Monday night, blanking their opponents 3-0.
But since the Vegas Golden Knights locked up the Western Conference in five games against the Winnipeg Jets, the NHL can now go ahead and lock in the dates and start times for the final round.
Here’s all the information you’ll need to know to tune in, even if we don’t yet know which team from the East will challenge the first-year Golden Knights. Of course, we don’t know quite yet which teams will host which games; the Lightning would have home-ice advantage over the Golden Knights, but Vegas would earn it over Washington.

As for odds, currently the Lightning have the top odds, at 8/5, followed by the Golden Knights at 3/1 and the Capitals at 7/2. However, Vegas will put out a final listing for the two teams left to face off in the Final.
It’s hard to put too much faith in the Capitals, but they’ve looked like a different team this postseason, capitalizing on opportunities and smothering their opponents on the road. Their physical style on Monday ensured that the Bolts never found the net. We say this every year, but this could really be their year.
