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

The Florida Panthers have officially advanced to the second round of the 2023 NHL Playoffs after knocking off the juggernaut Boston Bruins in their opening series. Now the Eastern Conference's second wild-card team prepares for a semifinals matchup.

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

When Do the Panthers Play Next in the NHL Playoffs?

The Panthers won't be waiting long for their next game, which takes place on Tuesday, May 2. This will be the first game of a best-of-seven series with a trip to the Eastern Conference Finals on the line.

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

As the East's second wild-card team, Florida will face the No. 2 Toronto Maple Leafs, who defeated the No. 3 Tampa Bay Lightning in six games.

The Panthers' 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 (Toronto) 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 Maple Leafs to advance, they would then head to the Eastern Conference Finals with a Stanley Cup Finals berth on the line.
