The 2019-2020 NHL season was interrupted in March due to the coronavirus and the rest of the regular season was canceled. The Stanley Cup Playoffs began in July with an expanded 24 team field, with four teams in each conference getting byes and the other 16 teams playing a best-of-five series, called a qualifier. All of the first round Stanley Cup Playoff series and all subsequent series will be best-of-seven. All Eastern Conference Playoff games will be played in Toronto, while the Western Conference games will be played in Edmonton.

It used to be that the Stanley Cup Champion was fairly predictable, as until the last two years, there had only been four teams that won the title since 2009. The last two seasons have shown that any team can win the Cup, as the Washington Capitals won their first title two years ago and last year the Blues won their first title. There is no doubt that parity rules when it comes to the NHL Playoffs and there are no true favorites.
The hockey teams will play in 82 games over the course of the regular season to cut the league from 31 teams down to the 16 which get into the postseason.
The clubs are split into four divisions and two conferences. The Eastern Conference has both the Atlantic Division and the Metropolitan Division. In the Atlantic, we have Tampa Bay, Florida, Detroit, Boston, Ottawa, Montreal, Buffalo, and Toronto. The Metropolitan Division has Washington, Pittsburgh, Philadelphia, Carolina, New Jersey, Columbus, and the Rangers and Islanders. In the Western Conference, the teams are cut into the Pacific Division and the Central Division. The eight teams in the Pacific include Anaheim, Los Angeles, San Jose, Arizona, Calgary, Vancouver, Vegas, and Edmonton. The Central Division features Dallas, St. Louis, Chicago, Nashville, Colorado, and Winnipeg.
Each team which finishes in the Top 3 in any division will get into the postseason. The next two top point earners in each conference also get into the playoffs. The second and third-place teams will face off with each other in each division, the winner of which will advance to play either the winner of their division or one of the fourth place teams from the conference. The winners of those series meet the winners from the opposite divisions in their conference, while the victories of the conference finals square off in the coveted Stanley Cup Finals.
