In a rematch of last year’s finals, the Detroit Red Wings and the Pittsburgh Penguins are slated to face off for the Stanley Cup. Last week, the NHL said the Cup finals wouldn’t begin until June 5, but the series was moved up six days, after the conference finals lasted only four and five games, respectively. The league hopes to draw in nontraditional viewers and generate excitement about the first Cup rematch in 25 years. Below is the series schedule.
