After the three teams with the highest points and the two wildcard teams of the respective conference have qualified from each division, the playoffs , which are held in the knockout system , start . In the first round, the division winners meet the wildcard teams of the respective conference, whereby the division winner with the most points meets the worse of the two wildcard teams. The remaining pairings of the Conference quarter-finals will be played within the division among the teams placed second and third.
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 ranked 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 is the Prince of Wales Trophy awarded, and the winner of the Western Conference receives 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 .

Conference quarterfinals
Eastern Conference
(A1) Tampa Bay Lightning - (EWC2) Columbus Blue Jackets
The Columbus Blue Jackets made a sweep of the Tampa Bay Lightning for one of the biggest playoff surprises in NHL history. The Lightning recently won the Presidents' Trophy with 128 points and 62 victories, making them the best team for over 20 years, but they did not manage to carry over the performances of the regular season into the post-season . As a result, for the first time in league history, a Presidents' Trophy winner was eliminated without a single playoff win. Top scorer Nikita Kutscherow recorded two points and was missing in the third game, while goalkeeper Andrei Wassilewski only achieved a catch rate of 85.6%. On the part of the Blue Jackets, who thus won the first playoff series in their franchise history , Matt Duchene , who was committed to the trade deadline , impressed with three goals and four assists and goalkeeper Sergei Bobrowski with 93.2% saved shots.

(P1) Calgary Flames - (WWC2) Colorado Avalanche
In their first ever playoff encounter, the Colorado Avalanche defeated the Calgary Flames 4-1 and thus reached the second round for the first time since 2008 . After the team had to accept a shutout from Mike Smith in the first game , the first line of attack by the Avalanche around Nathan MacKinnon , Gabriel Landeskog and Mikko Rantanen became the sporting measure of all things. The three strikers recorded a total of 21 scorer points in the following four games, while goalkeeper Philipp Grubauer , who was preferred to Semyon Varlamow , had a catch rate of 93.9%. On the side of the Flames, especially Johnny Gaudreau and Sean Monahan as top performers in the regular season remained well below their potential.

Stanley Cup Final
(A2) Boston Bruins - (C3) St. Louis Blues
In the final series of the 2019 playoffs, the St. Louis Blues prevailed 4-3 against the Boston Bruins . The Blues won their first Stanley Cup in franchise history and also played their first final since 1970 , when they also faced Boston and suffered a 4-0 defeat. The success is rated as all the more remarkable given that St. Louis had changed coaches during the current season - Craig Berube took over for Mike Yeo in November 2018 - and the team finished last among all 31 NHL teams after the 30th game of the season . No team had made a comparable comeback during a season. The Bruins, on the other hand, played their first Stanley Cup final since 2013 , when they lost 4-2 to the Chicago Blackhawks . However, their last successful final was only two more years ago, at the end of the 2011 playoffs they celebrated a 4-3 win against the Vancouver Canucks , which also marked the previous final, which went over the full distance of seven games.
The Conn Smythe Trophy received Ryan O'Reilly of the Blues as Most Valuable Player of the Playoffs. He finished the playoffs (together with Brad Marchand ) as the best scorer and scored nine points in the final series and one goal in four consecutive games, which Wayne Gretzky had last achieved in 1985 . In addition, Jordan Binnington became the first rookie goalkeeper to bring in all the 16 wins he needed for his team; he had only been regularly on the ice in the NHL since the beginning of the year. With his counterpart Tuukka Rask he met in the final at eye level ( catch quota 91.2% each). In an overall even series, in which Boston even scored four more hits (22 vs. 18), the away strength and the physical fore-check of the blues were identified as decisive factors. In addition, the Bruins had injury concerns to complain about, so they ended two games with only five defenders. Captain Zdeno Chára also broke his jaw in the fourth game.
Among other things, the decisive 2-0 for St. Louis in the fifth game was controversial, as the goal was immediately preceded by an unpunished tripping of a blues player. Overall, the performance of the referees in these playoffs was viewed much more critically than in previous years.
