During the 2020-21 NHL season, the league will break from its wild-card format. Instead, it's quite simple: the top four teams from each of the four divisions will make up the 16 playoff squads. From there, the top seed in each division faces the fourth seed, while the second faces the third.
In each round, teams compete in a best-of-seven series following a 2–2–1–1–1 format (scores in the bracket indicate the number of games won in each best-of-seven series).
