Stanley Cup playoffs: Bracket, schedule, scores, highlights

The 2023 Stanley Cup playoffs are here, as 16 teams compete for the most magnificent trophy in sports.

The record-setting Boston Bruins were the No. 1 overall seed, but they were ousted in Round 1 by the Florida Panthers. Out West, the defending Cup champion Colorado Avalanche hoped to continue their reign atop the league, but they were upset by the Seattle Kraken in the latter club's first trip to the postseason.

The No. 8 seed Panthers have kept on rolling, all the way to the Stanley Cup Final, where they will face the winner of the Western Conference finals between the Dallas Stars and Vegas Golden Knights.
