The playoffs for the Stanley Cup of 2012 began on April 11, 2012 and ended on June 11, 2012 with the Los Angeles Kings 4-2 victory over the New Jersey Devils . The Kings won their first Stanley Cup in franchise history and provided the most valuable player in Jonathan Quick and the best playoff scorers with Dustin Brown and Anže Kopitar .
The Los Angeles Kings did not qualify for the post-season until the 81st and penultimate matchday of the regular season and thus became the first team to be placed eighth and last in their conference and still win the Stanley Cup. They also made the Devils the lowest (6) seeded team that had home rights in a Stanley Cup final; the previous record was also held by the Devils when they were placed fourth in 2000 and won the final. The Kings set further records by leading 3-0 in all four playoff rounds after three games - no team had succeeded in this since the introduction of the best-of-seven mode 25 years ago - and made it into the final a flawless away record of eight wins in eight games. Furthermore, they succeeded as the first team to successively eliminate the team in position 1, 2 and 3 in their conference.
The Florida Panthers ended what was then the longest losing streak of ten seasons without a playoff participation. In addition, for the first time since 1996, not a single Canadian team made it past the first playoff round.
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 .
