RALEIGH, N.C. (WTVD) — The Carolina Hurricanes are closing in on their first Stanley Cup Final appearance<\/a> in 20 years. Either the Canes or the Montreal Canadiens know they would face the Vegas Golden Knights for the Cup.<\/p>\n

But when?<\/p>\n

Now, two scenarios for the final best-of-seven series have been released.<\/p>\n

Should the Hurricanes wrap up the series Friday night, Game 1 of the Stanley Cup Final would take place June 2 in Raleigh.<\/p>\n

That would be followed by Game 2 in Raleigh on June 4. Then the teams would go to Las Vegas for Game 3 on June 6.<\/p>\n

Game 4 would be June 9 in Las Vegas.<\/p>\n

If more games are necessary, Game 5 would be in Raleigh on June 11. Game 6 would be back in Las Vegas on June 14.<\/p>\n

If the series goes a full seven games, the decisive game would be at the Lenovo Center on June 17, a Wednesday.<\/p>\n

All games are slated for 8 p.m. and will air on ABC11.<\/p>\n

If the ECL goes six or seven games<\/p>\n

In this case, the Stanley Cup Final would start on June 4, with Vegas visiting either Carolina or Montreal.<\/p>\n

Game 2 would be on June 6 in either Raleigh or Montreal.<\/p>\n

Games 3 and 4 would be in Las Vegas on June 9 and June 11.<\/p>\n

Game 5 would be June 14 in either Raleigh or Montreal.<\/p>\n

Game 6 would be June 17 in Las Vegas, and finally, a Game 7 would be played in either Raleigh or Montreal on June 20, a Saturday.<\/p>\n

Again, all games would be at 8 p.m. and be televised on ABC11.<\/p>\n
