The Rangers are in the conference finals for the first time in seven years, and they have little time to celebrate their seven-game series win over the Hurricanes.
New York returns home after Monday night's easy win in Raleigh, handing the Hurricanes their first home loss of the postseason, and will immediately prepare for the two-time defending champs in the Lightning, who will come to town for game one on Wednesday night.
The series opener at The Garden will begin at 8 p.m., as will game two on Friday. Game three in Tampa will be a 3:00 p.m. start, then back to 8:00 p.m. for the rest of the series, with a night off in between each game until game seven, if necessary, which will have two nights off after a game six on Saturday, June 11.
All games will be televised on ESPN.
