05/02/2025 11:49 PM
Here's every matchup and the dates and times for each round of the 2025 NHL Playoffs. We'll provide live updates with results every night.
The 2025 NHL Stanley Cup Playoffs are poised to be legendary. Parity was the name of the game in the 2024-25 season with both the east and west boasting stellar teams up and down the standings. This is not a season where there's a single, clear-cut favorite in each conference, but rather four or even five teams on each side of the bracket that you can believe has what it takes to go all the way.
Unquestionably the most fascinating series in the first round comes out of the west with the Dallas Stars facing the Colorado Avalanche. It's a matchup rich in top-flight individual performances, but also high in emotion as Mikko Rantanen faces his former team. Meanwhile in the east there will be a ton of focus on Alex Ovechkin and the Capitals, but also the three Canadian teams who made the playoffs with Toronto, Ottawa, and Montreal all trying to move on.
The Avalanche and the Carolina Hurricanes have the best Stanley Cup title odds at FanDuel Sportsbook as the puck drops on the postseason tournament. The Hurricanes are favorites just ahead of the Florida Panthers to come out of the Eastern Conference. The Avalanche are favorites just ahead of the Vegas Golden Knights to come out of the Western Conference.
