How the Playoffs Work

The playoffs are a single-elimination tournament. The top 16 teams in the NHL qualify for the playoffs. The teams are seeded 1-16 based on their regular season records. The first two rounds of the playoffs are played within each conference (Eastern and Western). The winners of each conference then face off in the Stanley Cup Finals.
