Your complete guide to the NHL Conference Finals

The GIST: Only four teams are left skating for the title of Stanley Cup champions: the NY Rangers and Florida Panthers in the Eastern Conference and the Dallas Stars and Edmonton Oilers in the Western Conference. Let’s break it all down.

Eastern Conference Final: The Madison Square Garden lights will be shining brighter than ever when the puck drops for Game 1 tonight at 8 p.m. ET, the first playoff meeting between the Rangers and Panthers in 27 years.

• Florida has some regrets after last year’s Stanley Cup Final loss and will rely on left winger (and noted pest) Matthew Tkachuk (pronounced kuh-CHUCK) and center Aleksander Barkov to purr their way back to the ’ship.

• However, they’ll be tested by the Presidents’ Trophy winners, specifically NY’s brick wall of a goalie in Igor Shesterkin, who has a stunning .923 save percentage this postseason. Doesn’t hurt when you also have endless offensive weapons to choose from.

Western Conference Final: It’s been a grind for Dallas, who beat the defending champion Vegas Golden Knights and high-scoring Colorado Avalanche to get here. If postseason points leader Miro Heiskanen continues to dominate on both ends of the ice, the Big D will be tough to beat.

• Standing in their way? The only Canadian team still in contention. Edmonton overcame a horrible start to the season and are back in the conference final for the second time in three years, thanks to the steady play of superstars Connor McDavid and Leon Draisaitl.

• However, the Oils will need consistent production from the rest of the squad to end Canada’s 31-year Stanley Cup drought. Giddy on up — Game 1 goes down tomorrow at 8:30 p.m. ET.
