In the 2021 NHL season, the top four teams of each division will qualify for the playoffs. The first two rounds of the playoffs will be played ‘in-division’, with the first-place team playing the fourth-place team. The four teams that advance to what is being called the ‘Stanley Cup Semi-Finals’ will be re-seeded based on regular-season points, and whether or not these playoff series are played in a ‘bubble’, is yet to be determined.
