Template:2020 Stanley Cup playoffs

In each round, the highest remaining seed in each conference is matched against the lowest remaining seed. The higher-seeded team is awarded home ice advantage. In the Stanley Cup Finals, home ice is determined based on regular season points percentage. Each best-of-five series followed a 2–2–1 format: the higher-seeded team was the designated as the host for games one and two (and game five, if necessary), and the lower-seeded team was the host for games three (and game four, if necessary). Each best-of-seven series follows a 2–2–1–1–1 format: the higher-seeded team is the host for games one and two (and games five and seven, if necessary), and the lower-seeded team is the host for games three and four (and game six, if necessary). In the First Round, the top four teams in each conference were seeded one through four based on their final standings from the Round Robin. The teams that advanced from the Qualifying Round were re-seeded five through eight based on their regular season points percentage.
