NHL Playoffs 2025: Full schedule, bracket, results, TV times, and more

The Playoffs of NHL Stanley Cup 2025 are ready to be legendary. Parity was the name of the match in the 2024-25 season with the East and West Basten Stellaire teams up and down through the rankings. This is not a season in which there is a single, clear favorite in every conference, but rather unven five teams on each side of the bracket that you can believe needs what is to go completely.

Unexpectedly the most fascinating series In the first round comes from the west with the Dallas stars opposite the Colorado Avalanche. It is a matchup that is rich in the performance of toppers, but also a lot of emotion while Mikko Rantanen is opposed to his former team. In the meantime, there will be a lot of focus on Alex Oveechkin and the capitals, but also the three Canadian teams that have made the play -offs with Toronto, Ottawa and Montreal who all try to continue.

The Avalanche and the Carolina Hurricanes have the best Stanley Cup twist in Fanduel Sportsbook while the Puck falls on the Postseason tournament. The hurricanes are favorites just before the Florida Panthers to get out of the Eastern Conference. The avalanche are favorites just before the Vegas Golden Knights to get out of the Western Conference.

Here are the schedules, TV information, scores and more for the opening round of the Stanley Cup -Play -offs. Always mentioned are eastern.
