The second round of the 2023 Stanley Cup Playoffs presented by GEICO continue today, Sunday, May 14, at 10 p.m. ET on ESPN in a back-and-forth series between the Vegas Golden Knights and the Edmonton Oilers at Rogers Place. Leading the series 3-2, Vegas’ Jack Eichel – in his first postseason – pushed his point total to 13 in Game 5 and aims to lead his team past the Oilers’ Connor McDavid and Leon Draisaitl and into the Western Conference Final.
On Monday, the Seattle Kraken take on the Dallas Stars in a win-or-go-home, Game 7 showdown at 8 p.m. ET on ESPN. Roope Hintz, Jason Robertson and Joe Pavelski will try to get back on track and advance to the Western Conference Final for second time in four seasons, while a Kraken win would see the second-year franchise reach the conference finals for the first time in its short team history.
The commentators and telecast details for each game are detailed below. Commentator assignments and coverage details for ESPN games beyond May 15 will be announced in the coming days.
All Stanley Cup Playoff Games are available for on-demand replay on ESPN+ within 24 hours of each game’s completion.
