The Carolina Hurricanes will start their next round of the NHL playoffs Tuesday.<\/p>\n

Or Thursday.<\/p>\n

That will depend on what happens over the next few days between the Buffalo Sabres and Montreal Canadiens.<\/p>\n

The Sabres and Canadiens will play at least six games in their best-of-seven second-round series. Montreal won Thursday night, 6-3, in Game 5. Game 6 is slated for Saturday at 8 p.m. If the series ends Saturday with a Montreal win, the Canes will host the Canadiens in Game 1 of the Eastern Conference Final on Tuesday, May 19.<\/p>\n

If the series extends to a seventh game, which would be played on Monday, May 18, the Canes would host Game 1 of the Eastern Conference Final on Thursday, May 21.<\/p>\n

If the series begins Tuesday, the Hurricanes will have endured \u2014 or benefited from \u2014 nine full days off<\/a>. If it\u2019s Thursday? Make that 11 days since their most recent game, the Game 4 clincher in Ottawa on Saturday, May 9.<\/p>\n

\u201cRecovery in the playoffs \u2026 you just don\u2019t get that luxury all that often,\u201d defenseman K\u2019Andre Miller said Tuesday. \u201cAny time you can get away from the rink and put up your legs and get your mind away from the ice and a stick and a puck is nice and is a good reset.\u201d<\/p>\n

Added head coach Rod Brind\u2019Amour: \u201cIt\u2019s important for the guys to stay physically sharp, but mentally it\u2019s OK to kind of get away from it a little bit because the playoffs are a grind mentally and physically,\u201d Brind\u2019Amour said. \u201cI think the mental rest is actually probably better for us than the physical rest.\u201d<\/p>\n

Canes captain Jordan Staal noted that after the break following the Ottawa series, the Canes jumped right back into play and took a 3-0 win over the Flyers in Game 1, scoring twice in the first period.<\/p>\n

\u201cI think the guys were sharp,\u201d Staal said. \u201cWe had a good week of working out and practicing and getting the bodies right. We\u2019ll try to do the same and hopefully have the same start.\u201d<\/p>\n
