NHL Playoffs 2020: Stanley Cup Final Dates, TV Schedule and Odds

And then there were two.

The Tampa Bay Lightning sealed their Eastern Conference Final victory over the New York Islanders with a thrilling 2-1 overtime win in Thursday's Game 6 to set up a Stanley Cup Final showdown with the Dallas Stars.

Anthony Cirelli found the back of the net in overtime to eliminate an Islanders side that battled throughout against a more talented team.

Dallas had a slightly easier time in the Western Conference Final and dispatched of the Vegas Golden Knights in just five games.

As a result, four wins stand between both sides and the Stanley Cup.

Here is a look at the full schedule:

• Game 1: Saturday, Sept. 19 at 7:30 p.m. ET on NBC
• Game 2: Monday, Sept. 21 at 8 p.m. ET on NBCSN
• Game 3: Wednesday, Sept. 23 at 8 p.m. ET on NBCSN
• Game 4: Friday, Sept. 25 at 8 p.m. ET on NBC
• Game 5*: Saturday, Sept. 26 at 8 p.m. ET on NBC
• Game 6*: Monday, Sept. 28 at 8 p.m. ET on NBC
• Game 7*: Wednesday, Sept. 30 at 8 p.m. ET on NBC

*If necessary.

According to DraftKings, Tampa Bay is the favorite to take home the Stanley Cup at -180 (bet $180 to win $100), as of Thursday at 11:30 p.m. ET. The Stars check in at +150.

There is a reason the Lightning are favorites.

They led the league in goals per game (3.47) during the regular season and feature an explosive offense with the likes of Brayden Point, Nikita Kucherov and Ondrej Palat. That Victor Hedman comes up from the blue line and adds his powerful slap shot makes Tampa Bay all the more formidable.

It will be a battle of offense against defense considering only the Presidents' Trophy-winning Boston Bruins allowed fewer goals per game than the Stars during the regular season.

Dallas brought its physical style of defense—blocking shots, getting into passing lanes and unleashing hits when necessary—to the series against Vegas and allowed more than two goals just once.

That will need to be the formula again in the Stanley Cup Final, but the Lightning already defeated top-notch defensive teams like that in the Columbus Blue Jackets and Bruins in the opening two rounds while dropping a combined two games.

Their offense has been unstoppable, and they are favored to win it all as a result.
