NHL Stanley Cup Playoffs 2021 schedule, TV info

BYLbTsRJSBJ_
Ross Colton scores the only goal in Game 5 and Andrei Vasilevskiy makes 22 stops in a shutout performance to power the Lightning to a 1-0 victory against the Canadiens and clinch the Stanley Cup.

NBC Sports will feature roughly 20 game and studio commentators throughout the 2021 Stanley Cup Playoffs. NHL Live will feature hosts Liam McHugh and Kathryn Tappen and analysts Eddie Olczyk, Keith Jones, Anson Carter, Patrick Sharp, Dominic Moore and Mike Babcock.

For this season only, the NHL realigned with four divisions. Teams played only against opponents from their division during the 56-game regular season. The playoff format is simple: The top seed in each division faced the fourth seed, while the second faced the third in the First Round. The winners met in the Second Round.

When the playoffs reached the Stanley Cup Semifinals, the four remaining playoff teams were re-seeded based on their regular season point totals.
