There are 2 conferences and 4 divisions. In each conference the top 3 teams in each division make the playoffs and then two more teams will make it as wildcard teams. The division winners play the wildcard teams in the first round of the playoffs and the 2 seed in each division will play the 3 seed. The winner of division winner vs wildcard will play the winner of divisional 2 seed vs 3 seed. So regardless whether the Leafs or Panthers finish first, if they both win their round 1 series they will play in round 2.
The winner of each divisional bracket will play in the 3rd round to crown a conference champion and then the two conference champions play in the Stanley Cup final.
Thanks. I've also found it here. https://www.nhl.com/info/standings-info/playoff-format
The team finishing first has the advantage of playing against wild card entry. But all matches in the playoffs are knockouts so it may be that some wild card team turn it around and crush the panthers or leafs, there will be no more Panthers vs leafs then.
The teams finishing second and third in each division will meet within the bracket headed by their respective division winners.
Will meet each other right?
So, in the first round
- No. 1 placed team meets the wild card team.
- No. 2 and three play each other.
In the second round
- The winners of round 1 will meet each other from each confrence and division.
In the third round.
- It's confrence vs Division (finals)
In the fourth round
- It's the clash of winners from third round.
Do you approve it?
