Dallas Stars Second Round Playoff Schedule 2023 (Next Opponent, Game Times and Dates for Semifinal Series)

The Dallas Stars have officially advanced to the second round of the 2023 NHL Playoffs after knocking off the Minnesota Wild in their opening series. Now the Central Division's No. 2 seed prepares for a semifinals matchup.

Here's everything you need to know about the Stars' upcoming second round series.

When Do the Stars Play Next in the NHL Playoffs?

The Stars won't be waiting long for their next game, which will be on Tuesday, May 2 at 9:30 p.m. ET. This will be the first game of a best-of-seven series with a trip to the Western Conference Finals on the line.

Who Will the Stars Play in Round 2 of the Playoffs?

As the 2-seed in the Central Division, Dallas will face the wild-card Seattle Kraken.

The Stars' second-round matchup will be a typical best-of-seven series that follows the 2-2-1-1-1 format. That means the better seed (Dallas) hosts Games 1 and 2, plus Games 5 and 7 if those are necessary. The worse seed (Seattle) hosts Games 3 and 4, plus Game 6 if that is necessary.

If the Stars beat the Kraken to advance, they would then head to the Western Conference Finals with a Stanley Cup Finals berth on the line.
