What is the schedule for the rest of the playoffs?

The National Hockey League (NHL) playoffs are an elimination tournament, held after the conclusion of the regular season, to determine the winner of the Stanley Cup, North America’s oldest professional sports trophy. The Stanley Cup Playoffs, commonly referred to as “the playoffs”, is an elimination tournament consisting of four rounds of best-of-seven series. Each qualifying team plays in a best-of-seven series against a single elimination opponent in order to advance to the next round, with the final round being a best-of-seven series between the two remaining teams.

The NHL playoffs consist of four rounds. The first round is known as the Qualifying Round, in which the bottom four teams in each conference play one another in a best-of-five series to determine which team will advance to the First Round.

The First Round features the top four teams from each conference playing one another in a best-of-seven series.

The Second Round features the winners of each First Round matchup playing one another in another best-of-seven series.

The Third Round is known as the Conference Finals and features the winners of each Second Round matchup playing one another in yet another best-of-seven series with a berth in the Stanley Cup Final on the line.

Finally, the Stanley Cup Final is a best-of-seven series between the winners of each Conference Final that determines who will hoist Lord Stanley’s Mug at season’s end.
