Either the Golden Knights or the Capitals will hoist their franchise’s first Stanley Cup in a little over a week. The big difference is the Capitals have existed for decades and last reached the NHL Playoffs Finals 20 years ago. Las Vegas is in its first year of existence.
The format for the Stanley Cup Playoffs has the top three teams from each division (Atlantic, Central, Metropolitan, Pacific) receiving an automatic berth to the postseason. The other four playoff spots go to the two wild card teams in each conference.
Therefore, the top seeds in both conferences play the lower-seeded wild card teams in the first round, while the other division winners will drop the puck against the other wild card teams.
