2024 Eastern Conference Final: How Well Do the Rangers Matchup Against the Panthers?

The New York Rangers did not have to wait long to find out who they would be facing in the 2024 Eastern Conference Final. Just one day after beating the Carolina Hurricanes in Game 6, the Florida Panthers defeated the Boston Bruins in Game 6 of their series to punch their ticket to the final four. This will be the second time the Rangers and Panthers will meet in the playoffs, with the first meeting happening back in 1997, where the Rangers won the series in five games. Both of these teams won their divisions this season and this will be the fifth time in the last 18 years that two division winners have met in the round before the Stanley Cup Final.
