Good news!

The Game 7 doubleheader on Wednesday won’t leave you waiting for more playoff hockey very long. With all four conference final berths claimed, the penultimate round of the NHL playoffs will get underway on Friday.

We’ll get started that night with Game 1 between the Anaheim Ducks and Nashville Predators. It’ll be the first conference final game in Predators history, and the second for the Ducks in the last three seasons.

And then the Eastern Conference finals get underway on Saturday with Game 1 between the Pittsburgh Penguins and Ottawa Senators. The Senators traipsed through the Bruins and Rangers to reach this point, while the Penguins survived a brutal series with the Capitals.

All times below are Eastern.
