Notes

edit
  • Due to the coronavirus pandemic, The playoffs were held in two "hub" cities both in Canada; Edmonton, Alberta at Rogers Place, and Toronto, Ontario at Scotiabank Arena. The Conference Finals and 2020 was played at Rogers Place in Edmonton.[13]
  • Due to the COVID-19 pandemic.[14] and the cross-border travel restrictions imposed by the Government of Canada, the league temporarily realigned this season into four divisions with no conferences. Consequently, the first two rounds of the playoffs featured intra-divisional matchups, with the higher seeded teams receiving home-ice advantage in those rounds. In the Stanley Cup Semifinals, the four remaining teams (one from each division) were reseeded based on their regular season records. After initially stating that the Campbell and Wales trophies would not be awarded this season,[15] the league decided in June 2021 that the Montreal Canadiens and Vegas Golden Knights would play for the Campbell Bowl and the New York Islanders and Tampa Bay Lightning would play for the Wales Trophy.[16]
  • 2022 - ESPN announced Friday, June 10 that ABC will simulcast Game 7 of the Lightning-Rangers NHL Eastern Conference Final on Tuesday if that game occurs. It would be the first game of the playoffs on broadcast television. Coverage would also air on ESPN and ESPN+.[17] However, it was not necessary since the Lightning win the series in 6 games.
