The Eastern Conference Finals matchup has been set in stone. The Rangers and Panthers will battle it out in a best-of-seven series to determine which squad will represent the East in the Stanley Cup Final.
New York defeated Carolina in six games to advance to the conference championship series. The Rangers have already enjoyed a vastly more successful season than last year, when they got bounced in the first round of the playoffs by the Devils.

Competing in their second Eastern Conference Finals in the past three years, the Rangers haven't won the title since the 1993-94 season, which also marked the debut of the Panthers as an NHL franchise. Florida has never lifted the Stanley Cup in its 30-year existence.
This should be a fantastic series, with two stacked teams exchanging blows for the opportunity to stand on hockey's biggest stage.
