Due to cross-border travel restrictions imposed by the Government of Canada over the COVID-19 pandemic, the league temporarily realigned this season into four divisions with no conferences. Consequently, the first two rounds of the playoffs featured intra-divisional matchups, with the higher-seeded teams receiving home-ice advantage in those rounds. In the Stanley Cup Semifinals, the four remaining teams (one from each division) were re-seeded based on their regular season records.
