The NHL regular season runs from October to early April, with all 32 teams competing in an 82 game schedule. When the regular season ends, the top 16 teams (8 from the Eastern and 8 from the Western conference) advance to the playoffs, which feature intense best-of-seven series in each round.
The Stanley Cup Playoffs start with the First Round, progress to the Conference Finals, and culminate in the Stanley Cup Final, where the best team from the East takes on the top team from the West. The Stanley Cup, one of the most iconic trophies in sports, is awarded to the champion in June after a grueling postseason battle.
Known for its fast-paced action and edge-of-your-seat drama, the NHL playoffs are a favorite among sports fans. With Fantasy Pick’em, you don’t need to keep up with playoff brackets—just focus on making the right calls for your higher/lower picks to win big!
