Vegas Golden Knights Third Round Playoff Schedule 2023 (Next Opponent, Game Times and Dates for Conference Finals)
Updated:
The Vegas Golden Knights have officially advanced to the third round of the 2023 NHL Playoffs after eliminating the Edmonton Oilers in their second-round series. Now the Pacific Division's No. 1 seed prepares for its first conference finals appearance since the 2020-21 campaign.
Here's everything you need to know about the Golden Knights' upcoming third round series.
When Do the Golden Knights Play Next in the NHL Playoffs?
The Golden Knights won't be waiting long for their next game, which will be on Friday, May 19 at 8:30 p.m. ET. 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 Golden Knights Play in Round 3 of the Playoffs?
As the final remaining team from the Pacific Division bracket, Vegas will face the Dallas Stars in the Western Conference Finals.
The Golden Knights' 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 (Vegas) hosts Games 1 and 2, plus Games 5 and 7 if those are necessary. The worse seed (Dallas) hosts Games 3 and 4, plus Game 6 if that is necessary.
If the Golden Knights beat the Stars, they'll reach the Stanley Cup Final for the first time since their inaugural campaign in 2018.
