The 2023 Stanley Cup Playoffs have arrived, and a fully loopy first spherical — by which the highest seed in every convention fell — is over. The Boston Bruins gained the Presidents’ Trophy and entered the playoffs after setting new NHL data for wins (64) and points (135). Boston could not even make it out of the primary spherical although, as the Panthers pulled off a historic upset in Game 7 to knock them out.
Within the West, the Colorado Avalanche seemed ready to defend their title as champions, however the upstart Kraken had different concepts and won Game 7 of that series to advance in the postseason for the first time in franchise history.
The construction of the playoffs is as follows:
- The division winner with probably the most factors in every convention will face the second Wild Card group within the first spherical. The division winner with fewer factors in every convention will match up with the highest Wild Card group within the first spherical.
- Every collection might be a best-of-seven format.
- Dwelling-ice benefit goes to the group with the highest seed within the first two rounds of the playoffs. The group with probably the most factors within the common season has home-ice benefit within the convention finals and Stanley Cup Closing.
