The New York Rangers play the Carolina Hurricanes in Round 2 of the 2022 NHL Stanley Cup Playoffs, starting with Game 1 at PNC Arena in Raleigh, North Carolina on Wednesday, May 18 (5/18/2022).

Game 1 of the series will be at 7 p.m. ET on ESPN, as will games 2-4, with games 5-7 currently TBD. It can be streamed live on fuboTV, Sling and other live TV services. Full schedule below.

After falling behind 3-1 to start their Round 1 series, the Rangers rallied for three straight games to beat the Pittsburgh Penguins in Game 7. It looked like the series would go to Pittsburgh on Sunday, but after falling behind 3-2 at the end of the second period, Mika Zibanejad equalized in the third, forcing the game into overtime where Artemi Panarin put away another goal to win the game.

The Hurricanes also went to Game 7 in their series against the Boston Bruins. Carolina came out ahead 2-0, but Boston tied it back up and brought things down to the wire. In Game 7, Carolina got out to to a 2-goal lead from which Boston couldn’t recover, and won the the game 3-2.

The Hurricanes are attempting to keep PNC Arena friendly ahead of the first two games by banning sales of tickets outside North and South Carolina, and parts of Virginia, with a “restricted sales area” policy. Of course, the secondary market still exists for any Rangers fans who may be planning a takeover. New York has put no similar restrictions in place, and has already sold out games 3, 4 and 6 at Madison Square Garden, according to CBS Sports.
