The 2022 Stanley Cup Playoffs will continue this week with live coverage of the Eastern Conference Finals and Western Conference Finals.

The Western Conference Finals will begin first. This year's edition has Evander Kane and the Edmonton Oilers matched up with Nathan MacKinnon and the Colorado Avalanche for the right to represent the Western Conference in the Stanley Cup Final. The series is scheduled to begin on Tuesday, May 31 at 8:00 PM (ET) on TNT. 

This year's Western Conference Finals will be a golden opportunity to showcase two teams, Colorado and Edmonton, that have not been on this Conference Finals stage in a very, long time. The Avalanche have not been in the Western Conference Finals since the 2001-02 season. The Oilers have not been in the Western Conference Finals since the 2005-06 season.

TNT will carry every single game of the Avalanche-Oilers Western Conference Final. Kenny Albert (play-by-play) will call the Colorado/Edmonton Conference Final series, with analysts Keith Jones, Eddie Olczyk, & Darren Pang. Reporters Nabil Karim (in Denver) and Meaghan Mikkelson (in Edmonton) will share reporting duties throughout the series.

The Eastern Conference Finals begin on Wednesday, June 1 at 8:00 PM (ET) on ESPN with Game 1 of the series between the New York Rangers and the Tampa Bay Lightning. Brayden Point and the Lightning look to go back to their third straight Stanley Cup Final. K'Andre Miller and the Rangers look to go back to the Stanley Cup Final for the first time since 2014. The Rangers-Lightning series is a re-match of the 2015 Eastern Conference Final, a series in which Tampa Bay won in seven games.

Sean McDonough (play-by-play), Ray Ferraro (analyst), & Emily Kaplan (reporter) will call the Lightning-Rangers Eastern Conference Final series on ESPN.

Read on for a complete series-by-series overview and daily schedule for the Eastern Conference Finals and Western Conference Finals.
