NHL Playoff Bracket - 10 things to know with detail

• The NHL playoff bracket consists of 16 teams, with eight from each conference (Eastern and Western).
• The teams are seeded based on their regular season performance, with the top team in each division earning the top seed and the next best two teams in each conference earning the second and third seeds.
• The playoffs are divided into four rounds: the first round, the second round (conference semifinals), the third round (conference finals), and the Stanley Cup Final.
• Each round is a best-of-seven series, with the first team to win four games advancing to the next round.
• The team with the higher seed in each series has home-ice advantage, meaning they play the first two games and potential Game 5 and Game 7 at home.
• The playoffs are single-elimination, meaning if a team loses a series, they are eliminated from the playoffs.
• The Stanley Cup Final is a best-of-seven series between the Eastern Conference champion and the Western Conference champion to determine the winner of the Stanley Cup.
• The Stanley Cup Final is played at a neutral site, with the first two games and potential Game 5 and Game 7 played at one team's home arena and the next two games and potential Game 6 played at the other team's home arena.
• The team that wins the Stanley Cup Final is awarded the Stanley Cup trophy and the title of NHL champions for that season.
• The NHL playoffs are one of the most exciting and intense times in the hockey season, with fans eagerly following their favorite teams as they compete for the ultimate prize in the sport.
