How Playoff Selection Works

Understanding the NHL playoff format

•Top 3 teams from each division automatically qualify (12 teams total)
•2 wild card teams per conference (next best teams by points, regardless of division)
•Tiebreakers: 1) Regulation wins, 2) Regulation + OT wins, 3) Total wins
•First round: Division winners face wild cards, 2nd/3rd place teams face each other
