Well after a crazy season, like most sports all over the world the Stanley Cup finally got going again. The Stanley Cup won't be awarded until late September or early October after the NHL paused its season March 12 due to concerns about the coronavirus. The longest postseason in NHL history began on Saturday 1st August with the first three of eight best-of-5 Stanley Cup Qualifier series, as will round-robin series for the top four teams in each of the two conferences. The eight winners in the Qualifiers will join the eight teams that played for seeding in the round-robin for the 16-team Stanley Cup Playoffs. With that all done and dusted here are the playoff ties and results/fixtures so far. Seeding’s in brackets.
