NHL bases their playoffs on a seeding system. 1 plays 8 2 plays 7 3
plays 6 4 plays 5. With the top 4 teams in each division taking home
ice advantage.
The 1st, 2nd, 3rd are the best in the division, as you might notice
this year Capitals have less points but are a higher seed than the
Devils, that is because the Capitals had the highest points in their
division.
The second round is determined by highest seed goes against the lowest
seed, 2nd highest goes against 2nd lowest. In the case the seed that
win are 1st, 4th, 3rd, and 7th all win their series then the bracket
will look like 1st vs 7th and 4th vs 3rd.
It is also determined in a series best of 7 where the first to win 4
games goes on to the next round of the playoff. Also the higher seed
goes on to have 4 home games as where the lower seed only hosts 3 home
games. 1st ROUND BRACKETS (BELOW)
