How does the NHL playoff bracket work?
Sixteen teams qualify, eight per conference: the top three teams in each division plus two wild cards, the two best remaining teams in the conference by points. The division winner with more points plays the second wild card, the other division winner plays the first wild card, and the No. 2 and No. 3 teams in each division meet.
