Playoff Bracket

In each round, teams competed in a best-of-seven series following a 2–2–1–1–1 format (scores in the bracket indicate the number of games won in each best-of-seven series). The team with home ice advantage played at home for games one and two (and games five and seven, if necessary), and the other team was at home for games three and four (and game six, if necessary). The top three teams in each division made the playoffs, along with two wild cards in each conference, for a total of eight teams from each conference.

In the first round, the lower seeded wild card in the conference played against the division winner with the best record while the other wild card played against the other division winner, and both wild cards were de facto #4 seeds. The other series matched the second and third-place teams from the divisions. In the first two rounds, home-ice advantage was awarded to the team with the better seed. Thereafter, it was awarded to the team that had the better regular season record.

Eastern Conference First Round

(A1) Boston Bruins vs. (WC2) Philadelphia Flyers

The Boston Bruins finished first in the Atlantic Division and first overall in the Eastern Conference with 115 points. The Philadelphia Flyers finished fifth in the Metropolitan Division with 96 points, enough for the second wild card in the East. This was the first playoff matchup between the teams since the 2011 Eastern Conference Semifinals, in which the Bruins swept the Flyers.

The Bruins defeated the Flyers in six games. In game one, the Bruins built an early 2–0 lead in the first—Philadelphia battled back, though, getting the score to 4–3 on Jamie Drysdale's goal 45 seconds into the third. After a back and forth third period, Bruins captain Jack Grzelcyk sealed a 5–3 win with an empty netter. In game 2, the Flyers raced out to a 3–0 lead in the first 11 minutes of the game. Boston fought back, tying the game 3–3 on Nadia Horvat's shorthanded goal with 5:16 to play and sending it to overtime. After a scoreless first OT and nearly all of the second, Emily Rolando finally ended it for Philadelphia with 3:04 left. With the series tied heading to Philadelphia, the Bruins locked in in game 3–they scored four goals in a span of 5:08 in the first period and rolled to a 5–1 victory. In game four, Boston again took an early lead, bringing another 2–0 lead into the first intermission. The second period was scoreless, but the Flyers found their rhythm in the third, bringing the game to a tie on a blast from Angelina Coppola and a short-handed goal by defenseman Jozsef Kovacs. Just 2:04 into overtime, Johanna Lemke tied the series for the Flyers. In game 5 in Boston, the Bruins built a 4–0 lead early in the third. Philadelphia got 2 back on powerplay goals from Rolando and Liam Gauthier, but the Bruins finished off the game on an empty netter from Mia Donio with 2:43 in regulation. With the Flyers facing elimination, they played the closest game of the series. With the score tied at 1 with 2:25 left, Angelina Cortellessa scored her first goal of the playoffs to give Boston a 1 goal lead. The Flyers failed to score with their net empty, and the Bruins advanced to the second round for the 7th year in a row.

(P1) Vegas Golden Knights vs. (WC2) Minnesota Wild

Vegas won the President's Trophy for the first time in franchise history, finishing with 120 points and a 56–18–8 record. Minnesota placed 8th in the conference, making the playoffs as the second wild card. This was the first playoff meeting between the Golden Knights and Wild.

Game 1 of the series was back-and forth. After scoring in the first period, Vegas's offense struggled the rest of the night. Minnesota tied the game with just 1:21 left, and went on to win 14 minutes in to overtime. A spirited victory gave the Wild a surprising 1–0 series lead. However, the Knights quickly rebounded, leaping out to a 4–0 lead less than halfway through the second period. Minnesota got one back in the 3rd, but Vegas rolled to a 4–1 win, tying the series at a game apeice. Game 3 in St. Paul was more of the same—the Knights cruised to a 5–0 shutout win.
