The NHL has announced the Stanley Cup playoffs will begin July 30.
The league has not selected the two hub cities that the 24 teams will split time between both locations. COVID-19 test will be performed daily when the games resume.
The conference-based tournament will include a 16 team, 8 series qualifying round, and a round-robin competition among the top 4 teams in each conference to determine seeding for the 1st round.
