Florida Panthers Third Round Playoff Schedule 2023 (Next Opponent, Game Times and Dates for Conference Finals)

The Florida Panthers have officially advanced to the third round of the 2023 NHL Playoffs after eliminating the Toronto Maple Leafs in their second-round series. Now the Atlantic Division's wild-card seed prepares for its first Eastern Conference Finals appearance since the 1995-96 campaign.

Here's everything you need to know about the Panthers' upcoming third round series.

When Do the Panthers Play Next in the NHL Playoffs?

The Panthers won't be waiting long for their next game, which will be sometime next week. This will be the first game of a best-of-seven series with a trip to the Stanley Cup Final on the line.

Who Will the Panthers Play in Round 3 of the Playoffs?

As the final remaining team from the Atlantic Division bracket, Florida will face the Carolina Hurricanes in the Eastern Conference Finals.

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

If the Panthers beat the Hurricanes, they'll reach the Stanley Cup Final for the first time in 27 years.
