How do the NHL playoffs work?
The NHL held a "qualifying round" in each conference before the official start of the 2020 Stanley Cup playoffs. The top four seeds in each conference earned automatic playoff berths, leaving the 5-12 seeds in each conference to face off in best-of-five series to determine the remaining spots in the playoff bracket.
Meanwhile, the top four seeds participated in a round-robin tournament to determine their seeding for Round 1 with the Flyers and the Golden Knights securing the No. 1 seeds in their respective conferences.
Now that the playoff bracket is set, each series will be a best-of-seven format from the first round through the Stanley Cup Final, as is customary. The only major difference is teams from both conferences will reseed after each round, rather than the division-specific seeds in recent years.
