In the West, Anaheim Ducks will be visiting the United Center to face the Blackhawks. Games will be held on May 30th and 31st respectively.
Home-ice advantage will be given to the team with the most points in the standings during the regular season. Said squad will be hosting Games 1,2 and, if necessary, Games 5 and 7. Their opponents will host Games 3, 4, and if necessary, Game 6.
