What is the NHL?

NHL is short for the National Hockey League, the professional ice hockey league in North America. Founded in 1917, the NHL is currently made up of 31 teams: 24 from the United States and 7 from Canada. The Stanley Cup, which is awarded to the NHL’s playoff champion each year, is one of the oldest and most prestigious trophies in professional sports.

The NHL playoffs are a single-elimination tournament held after the conclusion of the regular season to determine the Stanley Cup champion. The playoffs began in 1918, and since then there have been many different formats used to determine the playoff teams. The current system, which has been used since 2014, pits the top three teams from each division against each other in the first round, with two “wild card” teams rounding out each conference’s playoff field.

The first round of the playoffs is a best-of-seven series, followed by the conference semifinals (also best-of-seven), conference finals (best-of-seven), and finally the Stanley Cup Final (best-of-seven).
