NHL Playoffs 2024 Format

The Stanley Cup Playoffs feature 16 teams, including eight from each conference. The playoffs consist of four rounds of best-of-seven series in which teams must win four games to advance. 

The top three teams from each division automatically qualify for the playoffs. The remaining teams compete among the other teams in their conference for wild card positions, of which there are two in the East and two in the West. 

The top team in each division faces the two wild card teams in the first round, while the No. 2 and No. 3 seeds play divisional matchups. With eight teams advancing to the second round, the bracket continues until the Eastern Conference and Western Conference Champions meet in the Stanley Cup Final.
