The 2023 Stanley Cup Playoffs have entered the final round. The Florida Panthers will face the Vegas Golden Knights in the Stanley Cup Final, with Game 1 set for Saturday night. What a wild playoffs it has been.
The Boston Bruins won the Presidents' Trophy and entered the playoffs after setting new NHL records for wins (64) and points (135). Boston couldn't even make it out of the first round though, as the Panthers pulled off a historic upset in Game 7 to knock them out.
In the West, the Colorado Avalanche looked ready to defend their title as champions, but that didn't last long. Instead, Vegas is the final team standing in the West.
The structure of the playoffs is as follows:
- The division winner with the most points in each conference will face the second Wild Card team in the first round. The division winner with fewer points in each conference will match up with the top Wild Card team in the first round.
- Each series will be a best-of-seven format.
- Home-ice advantage goes to the team with the top seed in the first two rounds of the playoffs. The team with the most points in the regular season has home-ice advantage in the conference finals and Stanley Cup Final.
