The playoffs for the Stanley Cup of 2009 began on April 15, 2009 and ended on June 12, 2009 with the Pittsburgh Penguins' 4-3 victory over the Detroit Red Wings . The Penguins won their third Stanley Cup and their first since the 1991/92 season. In addition, they put in Evgeni Malkin both the top scorer and the with the Conn Smythe Trophy winning Most Valuable Player of the playoffs. Since the Red Wings had prevailed 4-2 against the Penguins in the previous year's final, this season was the first time since the playoffs in 1984 that a previous final pairing was directly reissued. Furthermore, the Penguins were the first team since the Canadiens de Montréal from 1971 , which could win the Stanley Cup despite a 2-0 deficit in the final. Also in 1971, a team last managed to win the seventh and decisive game of the final on opposing ice.

While the Ottawa Senators did not qualify for the post-season for the first time in eleven seasons and thus ended the longest series in the franchise to date, the Columbus Blue Jackets made the playoffs for the first time eight seasons after their founding.

mode

After the three division winners and the five other most points teams have qualified the Conference of each conference, start the knock-out system discharged playoffs . The division winner with the best points meets the eighth and thus the worst qualified team, number 2 of this ranking list meets number 7, etc. This mode allows one or more qualified teams to have more points than one of the division winners. The same principle is used to determine the matches in the second playoff round.

Each conference then plays its winner in the conference quarter-finals, conference semifinals and conference finals, who then compete in the final for the Stanley Cup . All series in each round are played in best-of-seven mode, which means that a team needs four wins to reach the next round. 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 Eastern Conference will receive the Prince of Wales Trophy and the winner of the Western Conference will receive the Clarence S. Campbell Bowl .

For games that remain tied after the regular playing time of 60 minutes, overtime follows , which, in contrast to the regular season, is played with five field players. In addition, it ends with the first goal ( Sudden Death ) and not, as usual in the regular season, with a shootout .
