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

Updated:

The Carolina Hurricanes have officially advanced to the second round of the 2023 NHL Playoffs after knocking off the New York Islanders in their opening series. Now the Metropolitan Division's No. 1 seed prepares for a semifinals matchup.

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

When Do the Hurricanes Play Next in the NHL Playoffs?

The Hurricanes 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 Eastern Conference Finals on the line.

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

As the 1-seed in the Metropolitan Division, Carolina will face the No. 2 New Jersey Devils.

The Hurricanes' 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 (Carolina) hosts Games 1 and 2, plus Games 5 and 7 if those are necessary. The worse seed (New Jersey) hosts Games 3 and 4, plus Game 6 if that is necessary.

If the Hurricanes beat the Devils to advance, they would then head to the Eastern Conference Finals with a Stanley Cup Finals berth on the line.
