The playoffs for the Stanley Cup the year 1983 began on April 5, 1983 and ended on 17 May 1983 with a 4: 0 victory of the New York Islanders over the Edmonton Oilers . The Islanders won their fourth title in a row in their fourth finals, but no team has won more than two consecutive Stanley Cups to this day (as of Playoffs 2020). They also presented with their goalkeeper Billy Smith also for the fourth time in a row with the Conn Smythe Trophy winning Most Valuable Player of the post-season , which so far succeeded in any other team. The inferior Oilers, however, who made the top scorer of the playoffs with Wayne Gretzky , reached their first Stanley Cup final. In the following year , the match should be repeated in the final, with the Oilers prevailing and thus ending the era of the Islanders.

In addition, the Washington Capitals qualified for the first time since its inception for the 1974/75 season for the playoffs and thus ended a negative series of eight years that set the negative record of the Boston Bruins (1960-1967).

After the four teams with the best points from each division have qualified, the playoffs , which are held in the knockout system , start . The respective first meets the fourth and the second meets the third of each division, so that the division winners are played out in the first two rounds. These then compete in the conference finals for entry into the Stanley Cup finals.

The series of the first round are played in the best-of-five mode, the series of all subsequent rounds in the best-of-seven mode, which means that a team needs four wins to progress from the second round; in the first round three. The higher seeded team has home rights in the first two games, the next two the opposing team. If no winner has emerged from the round by then, home rights will change from game to game. The higher-ranked team has a home advantage in games 1, 2, 5 and 7, i.e. four of the maximum seven games. The winner of the Prince of Wales Conference will receive the Prince of Wales Trophy and the winner of the Campbell Conference will receive the Clarence S. Campbell Bowl .

In the case of games that remain a draw after the regular playing time of 60 minutes, overtime follows . It ends with the first goal scored ( Sudden Death ) .
