Explain

16 teams will qualify for the Stanley Cup Playoffs. The format is a set bracket that is largely division-based with wild cards. The top three teams in each division will make up the first 12 teams in the playoffs. The remaining four spots will be filled by the next two highest-placed finishers in each conference, based on regular-season record and regardless of division. It is possible for one division in each conference to send five teams to the postseason while the other sends just three.



The percent after the team score is the chance of winning in regulation based on current second and

either home/away actual score or home/away goal differential. Please send any issues to cbosse86 at gmail dot com.
