One conference finalist has been named, and three more could be crowned this weekend as the second round of the Stanley Cup Playoffs continue this weekend.
Two could be named on Friday night, starting out east, where the Florida Panthers have a 3-2 series lead over the Boston Bruins and could eliminate the hosts in Beantown. The action that night heads to the mountains, where the Colorado Avalanche won Game 5 but need to win Game 6 over the Dallas Stars to stave off elimination for another night. If necessary, Game 7 for both of those series would be on Sunday.
As for Saturday, the Edmonton Oilers will host the Vancouver Canucks for Game 6 but need a win to send the series back to British Columbia for a decisive Game 7.
