The playoffs for the Stanley Cup in 1929 began on March 19, 1929 and ended on March 29, 1929 with the Boston Bruins' 2-0 victory over the New York Rangers . The Bruins won their first title in franchise history after they had already reached the final in 1927 and failed there at the Ottawa Senators . In addition, they became the second team after the Canadiens de Montréal in 1924, which could victoriously deny all games in the playoffs; after 1929 this only happened again in 1952 ( Detroit ) and 1960 (Montréal). Boston also formed the first all-American final in the history of the Stanley Cup with the New York Rangers, who competed as defending champions.

The three best teams from each division qualified for the playoffs. The two division winners played one of the two finalists directly in a first semi-final. The four remaining teams faced each other in two quarter-finals, with the two division runners-up and the two division thirds clashing. The quarter-finals finally culminated in the second semi-final, which determined the second finalist. The first semi-final was held in best-of-five mode , the second semi-final and the Stanley Cup final, however, only in best-of-three mode. In the two quarter-final series, only two games were played, whereby only the goal difference to advance was taken into account, so that draws were also possible.

In series with best-of-five mode, the lower-seeded team had home rights in the first two games before the higher-seeded team played three home games in a row. In the best-of-three mode, home rights changed from game to game, so that the higher seeded team played twice in front of their home crowd. In series with only two games, each team hosted a home game. It should be noted, however, that there were regular deviations from the distribution of home rights presented for various reasons.

Overtime followed for games that remained tied after 60 minutes of regular playing time . It ended with the first goal scored ( Sudden Death ) . This rule did not apply to the quarter-finals, which could end in a draw and only went into overtime if the goal difference at the end of the second game did not produce a winner.
