The Florida Panthers have once again cemented their position in the 2024 Stanley Cup Playoffs Eastern Conference Final after a thrilling victory over the Boston Bruins in Game 6. In a statement released jointly by the Panthers and the National Hockey League, it was confirmed that the Panthers will be facing off against the New York Rangers in the next round.

This marks the Panthers' second consecutive appearance in the Eastern Conference Final, as they look to build on their success from the previous season. The team showcased their dominance in the series against the Bruins, securing a flawless 3-0 record and a remarkable six consecutive road wins at the TD Garden since April 19, 2023.

Leading the charge for the Panthers was their star player, Aleksander Barkov. With eight points (3-5-8) over the course of the series, including two game-winning goals in games 2 and 4, Barkov demonstrated his exceptional skills on the ice.

The Panthers wasted no time in announcing the presale details for the Eastern Conference Final. Territory Members will have the opportunity to purchase tickets for Games 3, 4, and 6* starting Saturday, May 18 at 10 a.m. This will be followed by presale access for '93 Society subscribers at 1 p.m., with general public ticket sales opening at 3 p.m. on SeatGeek.com.

Interestingly, this Eastern Conference Final matchup will bring back memories for Panthers fans, as it will be the second time they face the New York Rangers in the playoffs.

The Rangers have had a phenomenal season, finishing with 114 points (55-23-4) and earning the Presidents' Trophy as the top team in the league.

However, the Panthers have proven themselves against the Rangers this season, earning points in all three regular season matchups with a 2-0-1 record. This sets the stage for an exciting series and a chance for the Panthers to avenge their previous playoff defeat.

The Eastern Conference Final is scheduled as follows: Game 1 will take place on Wednesday, May 22, with the Panthers visiting the Rangers at Madison Square Garden. Game 2 follows on Friday, May 24. Games 3 and 4 will be held on Sunday, May 26, and Tuesday, May 28, respectively, at the Amerant Bank Arena.
