The second round of the 2023 Stanley Cup Playoffs presented by GEICO continues Saturday, May 13, with a Game 6 matchup between the Dallas Stars and Seattle Kraken at 7 p.m. ET on ESPN from Climate Pledge Arena. In a competitive Western Conference clash, the Stars, Jason Robertson and Roope Hintz aim to close out the series and punch their ticket to the Conference Final after fighting off a Kraken comeback in Game 5.
On Sunday, the Vegas Golden Knights return to Rogers Place to face the Edmonton Oilers in Game 6 as the teams have traded blows and alternated victories throughout the series. Jack Eichel, Mark Stone and Chandler Stephenson will attempt to propel the Golden Knights past the Oilers and its near unstoppable points trio of Leon Draisaitl, Connor McDavid and Evan Bouchard, who are attempting to return to the Western Conference Final after falling to the eventual Stanley Cup Champion Colorado Avalanche in that set a season ago. Time and network will be announced in the coming days.
The commentators and telecast details for each game are detailed below. Commentator assignments and coverage details for ESPN games beyond May 14 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.
