The NHL Conferences and the Stanley Cup
The NHL consists of two conferences (Eastern and Western), with two divisions within each conference. The Central and Pacific Divisions belong to the Western Conference, while franchises from the Atlantic and Metropolitan divisions belong to the Eastern Conference.
Teams that finish in the top three from each division qualify for the Stanley Cup playoffs, as well as two wild card teams. The wildcard entries are the two teams with the highest points total that finish below the top three in their division.
The top seed from each conference plays the lower-seeded wildcard team, and the leader of the opposite division within their conference faces the higher-seeded wildcard team.
The 2nd and 3rd seeds from each division play each other in the first round of the playoffs. After the first-round games, seeding determines matchups, with the highest remaining seed in the conference drawing the lowest remaining seed.
