After a few days off, the NHL post-season kicks back into gear with the conference finals. First up are two teams that won their second-round series is just five games: the Carolina Hurricanes (over the New Jersey Devils) and the Florida Panthers (eliminating the Toronto Maple Leafs).
The Panthers have surprised with their play versus the Boston Bruins and Maple Leafs to make it this far, and now run into one of the most relentless teams in the NHL.
