* The second round of the 2023 Stanley Cup Playoffs begins Tuesday night with a doubleheader on ESPN -- Panthers vs. Maple Leafs, Game 1 (7 p.m. ET, ESPN) followed by Kraken vs. Stars, Game 1 (9:30 p.m. ET, ESPN)

* ESPN, TBS and TNT to televise second-round matchups

What a wild beginning to these Stanley Cup Playoffs! Following the first round action (spread out over these last couple of weeks), we are now ready to advance and begin Round 2 of the playoffs, starting tonight (Tuesday, May 2).

ESPN will televise a doubleheader tonight (Tuesday, May 2), to open up the Second Round of the Stanley Cup Playoffs. 

Tuesday's ESPN doubleheader begins in Toronto where the surprising Florida Panthers, coming off a historic and stunning 3-1 series deficit comeback victory over Boston thus ending their historic year, clash with the Toronto Maple Leafs, who advance beyond the opening round for the first time since 2004, in Game 1 of their series at 7 p.m. (ET). Veteran ESPN commentator Steve Levy will have the call alongside analyst AJ Mleczko, with reporting from Dominic Moore.

Following that contest, the Seattle Kraken -- in just their second season of existence -- march on to battle Jason Robertson and the Dallas Stars in Game 1 of the Western Conference Semifinals at 9:30 p.m. (ET) on ESPN. Bob Wischusen will provide on-site commentary from American Airlines Center in Dallas. Joining Wischusen on the broadcast is analyst Brian Boucher and reporter Leah Hextall.

Then, tomorrow, Wednesday, May 3, ESPN returns to televise two more Semifinal Game 1's, beginning at 7 p.m. (ET).

Wednesday's coverage on ESPN commences in Raleigh, North Carolina where Jack Hughes and the New Jersey Devils, fresh off their Game 7 shutout win over the Rangers in the first round, come to visit Brent Burns and the Carolina Hurricanes in Game 1 of a best-of-seven series. Game 1 of the Devils-Hurricanes is set for 7 p.m. (ET) on ESPN. Game 1 of the New Jersey-Carolina series features ESPN's lead NHL broadcast team -- Sean McDonough (play-by-play), Ray Ferraro (analyst) & Emily Kaplan (reporter) on the call.

Wednesday's coverage on ESPN continues from Las Vegas, Nevada and T-Mobile Arena. At 9:30 p.m. (ET), Connor McDavid and the Edmonton Oilers face off with Jack Eichel and the Vegas Golden Knights in Game 1 of the Western Conference Semifinals. WischusenBoucher and reporter Linda Cohn provide commentary from Las Vegas.

The second round then continues Thursday on TNT -- Panthers vs. Maple Leafs (Game 2) at 7 p.m. (ET) & Kraken vs. Stars (Game 2) at 9:30 p.m. ET.

Read on for a complete series and broadcast schedule for the Conference Semifinals. Also, I have provided a link for the first round (in case you missed it).
