How the playoffs work

Seeds 1–8 — Playoffs

The top eight in each conference reach the Stanley Cup Playoffs — four best-of-seven rounds to the Cup. (Officially: three per division plus two wild cards.)

Seeds 9–16 — Out

Below the cut line — the season ends, with eyes turning to the draft lottery.

Standings via ESPN. Points = 2 for a win, 1 for an overtime/shootout loss; the playoff band is the top 8 in each conference.
