The Stanley Cup Playoffs are heating up as both conference finals series roll on.
The New York Rangers flipped the NHL's Eastern Conference Finals back in their favor after dropping the first game of the series to the Florida Panthers. They've since won back-to-back one-score games, including an overtime win in Game 3 to steal a win on the road.
New York is playing for its first conference championship since the 2013-14 season and first Stanley Cup victory since 1993-94. Florida is going for a second straight Stanley Cup Finals appearance after losing last year's championship to the Vegas Golden Knights in five games. The Panthers are still on the prowl for their first Stanley Cup.
Here's everything to know heading into Game 4 of the Eastern Conference Finals.

Kevin Erickson writes: "The Rangers (+145) have won 5 of their 6 playoff games on the road, so they’re tempting to play in Game 4. However, the Panthers went 26-13-2 at home in the regular season, and 4-3 at home in the postseason."
Albert Bainbridge IV writes: "While the Blueshirts were able to escape with a victory in Game 3, I don't see them being as fortunate here tonight as the Panthers take Game 4 and even the series heading back to MSG for Game 5 on Thursday night."
Carol Schram writes: "The Panthers' prodigious offense should be connecting at a higher rate than it has through the first three games, the Rangers' power play should get on track at some point, and both Shesterkin and Bobrovsky could be at less than their best following two straight overtime games. We might not get to nine again, but six goals is very realistic on Tuesday in Sunrise."
