Ahead of Game 5 between the Buffalo Sabers and Montreal Canadiens, who are tied 2–2 in the series at the time of writing, the NHL announced the tentative schedule for the Eastern Conference Finals between the Carolina Hurricanes and whoever wins the Atlantic Series.
After winning the Eastern Conference in the regular season, the Hurricanes will have home ice advantage against any opponent.
The schedule has two different scenarios, and doesn't list times, but at least we have dates!
