Schedule for Round 2 of the playoffs announced.
Dom Gagne/CSM/Zuma

The first round of the Stanley Cup playoffs has officially come to an end with 8 teams being eliminated from contention and we are now down to the final 8 teams left in the tournament, those being the Philadelphia Flyers, New York Islanders, Boston Bruins, Tampa Bay Lightning, Dallas Stars, Colorado Avalanche, Vancouver Canucks and Las Vegas Golden Knights. 

These 8 teams will now face off in 4 playoff series that will determine which teams will advance to the conference finals, but the schedule for this round will be significantly different than what we have seen in these Stanley Cup playoffs thus far. After a jam packed schedule over the month of August that saw games played throughout the day, something that I personally really enjoyed to be honest, we are returning to a more traditional looking schedule for Round 2, something that makes perfect sense given that we have significantly less teams remaining at this stage. 

Although the games in the latter stages of the series remain "to be determined" when it comes to their start time, the National Hockey League has released the full schedule for the games it will feature in Round 2. Games that do not have a start time listed are considered to be in this "to be determined" category.  Here is that schedule:
