2022 NHL playoffs: Conference finals schedule, where to watch

What started as a field of 16 teams in the NHL playoffs has been trimmed down to four as the quest for the Stanley Cup continues.

In the Eastern Conference, the Tampa Bay Lightning's goal of a three-peat is still intact after the team dispatched the rival Florida Panthers in a four-game sweep. The Lightning will square off with the New York Rangers, who defeated the Carolina Hurricanes in seven games. Will Tampa show signs of rust or will the extended rest have done Jon Cooper's squad some good?

The Western Conference final features some of the most electrifying talent in the league as the Edmonton Oilers take on the Colorado Avalanche. Edmonton is coming off an emotionally-charged five-game victory over the Calgary Flames in the Battle of Alberta, while Colorado edged the St. Louis Blues in six games.

With two exciting series on tap, you won't want to miss any of the action. Here's how you can watch all the games to see which two teams punch their tickets to the Stanley Cup Final.
