2022 Stanley Cup playoffs

The 2022 Stanley Cup playoffs are the playoff tournament of the National Hockey League (NHL). The playoffs began on May 2, 2022, one day after the 2021–22 NHL regular season, and are expected to end no later than June 30, 2022, with the 2022 Stanley Cup Finals, to determine the winner of the Stanley Cup.[1]

With the Government of Canada allowing cross-border travel for fully vaccinated players and team personnel between Canada and the United States, the league was able to return to its usual two conference, four division alignment. As a result, the previous 16-team playoff format that was used before the COVID-19 pandemic from 2014–2019 was reinstated.[2]

The Florida Panthers made the playoffs as the Presidents' Trophy winners with the most points (i.e. best record) during the regular season. The Pittsburgh Penguins increased their postseason appearance streak to 16 seasons, the longest active streak in the four major North American professional sports.[3] Three of the semifinalists from the previous season (the Montreal Canadiens, New York Islanders and Vegas Golden Knights) failed to qualify for the playoffs. The Los Angeles Kings ended a two-year run where no teams from California qualified for the playoffs. With the Washington Capitals finishing in the second wild card spot in the Eastern Conference 16 points ahead of the New York Islanders, the 2022 Stanley Cup playoffs are the first playoffs in NHL history where all eight teams in a single conference qualified with at least 100 points.

Playoff seeds
Further information: Stanley Cup playoffs § Current format

This is the seventh year and first since 2019, in which the top three teams in each division made the playoffs, along with two wild cards in each conference (for a total of eight playoff teams from each conference).

The following teams qualified for the playoffs:[4]

Atlantic Division
  1. Florida Panthers, Atlantic Division champions, Eastern Conference regular season champions, Presidents' Trophy winners – 122 points
  2. Toronto Maple Leafs – 115 points
  3. Tampa Bay Lightning – 110 points

Metropolitan Division
  1. Carolina Hurricanes, Metropolitan Division champions – 116 points
  2. New York Rangers – 110 points
  3. Pittsburgh Penguins – 103 points

Wild Cards
  1. Boston Bruins – 107 points
  2. Washington Capitals – 100 points

Central Division
  1. Colorado Avalanche, Central Division champions, Western Conference regular season champions – 119 points
  2. Minnesota Wild – 113 points
  3. St. Louis Blues – 109 points

Pacific Division
  1. Calgary Flames, Pacific Division champions – 111 points
  2. Edmonton Oilers – 104 points
  3. Los Angeles Kings – 99 points

Wild Cards
  1. Dallas Stars – 98 points
  2. Nashville Predators – 97 points

Playoff bracket

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). The team with home ice advantage plays at home for games one and two (and games five and seven, if necessary), and the other team is at home for games three and four (and game six, if necessary). The top three teams in each division make the playoffs, along with two wild cards in each conference, for a total of eight teams from each conference.

In the First Round, the lower seeded wild card in the conference plays against the division winner with the best record while the other wild card plays against the other division winner, and both wild cards are de facto #4 seeds. The other series match the second and third place teams from the divisions. In the first two rounds, home ice advantage is awarded to the team with the better seed. In the Conference Finals and Stanley Cup Finals, home ice advantage is awarded to the team with the better regular season record.

Television

In Canada, for the eighth postseason under Rogers Media's current 12-year contract, coverage will be broadcast by Sportsnet networks and CBC Television under the Hockey Night in Canada brand, and streamed on Sportsnet Now, CBCSports.ca (for games televised by CBC), or the subscription service NHL Live. For selected U.S.–U.S. series in the first round, Sportsnet is simulcasting the U.S. feed instead of producing their own telecast.[7]

In the U.S., this marks the first Stanley Cup playoffs under the NHL's current broadcast rights deals with ESPN and TNT; national broadcasts of games will primarily air on ESPN, ESPN2, TBS, and TNT. ESPNU, ESPNEWS, TruTV, and HLN will act as overflow channels in the event a game extends into overtime.[8] With both the NBA and NHL playoffs being broadcast concurrently by the same two rightsholders, early-round broadcasting arrangements have been aligned to reduce conflicts; in the first week, ESPN was given pairs of doubleheaders on weeknights when TNT was airing NBA playoff games, and vice versa. The two conference finals will air exclusively on ESPN and TNT respectively, with ESPN holding the first choice of which conference final to air. As per the new alternating rotation, ABC will exclusively air the Stanley Cup finals; while ABC also exclusively airs the NBA Finals, they will end no later than June 19, the night after Game 1 of the Stanley Cup finals.[9][10] As before, each U.S. team's regional rightsholder will televise coverage of their team's games during the first round.[11][12]

Unlike past seasons, there will be no coverage of playoff games on U.S. broadcast television until the Stanley Cup finals (previous rightsholders such as NBC had traditionally offered weekend games). Contrarily, the finals will be carried in their entirety on broadcast television for the first time since 1980 (which was aired primarily by the Hughes Television Network, but with CBS picking up rights to the series-deciding Game 6 as a one-off CBS Sports Spectacular broadcast).[13][14] Since then, the finals were either partially or exclusively carried on cable). There will also be no games on over-the-top streaming services until the finals, as ESPN+ will only stream simulcasts of playoff games aired by ABC, and Turner Sports has not yet invoked its option to carry or simulcast games on HBO Max.[9][10]
