2014 Stanley Cup Finals

The 2014 Stanley Cup Finals was the championship series of the NHL's 2013-14 season.

Prior to the season, the league had realigned its divisions and changed the structure of the playoffs, but the championship series remained the same.

The Western Conference playoff champion Los Angeles Kings defeated the Eastern Conference playoff champion New York Rangers four games to one to win their second championship in franchise history, marking the first time since 2007 that the championship series was determined in less than six games.

Los Angeles had home ice advantage in the series, as the Kings finished with a better regular season record than the Rangers.

The series started on June 4, 2014 and ended on June 13, 2014 with the Kings winning their second Stanley Cup in three years.

It was the first meeting between teams from New York City and Los Angeles for a major professional sports championship since the Yankees and the Dodgers played in the 1981 World Series.

The last time the Rangers & the Kings met in the playoffs was in 1981 where New York defeated Los Angeles in the preliminary round of the 1981 Stanley Cup Playoffs.
