indicate the number of games won in each best-of-seven series). The team with <a href="/wiki/Home_advantage" title="Home advantage">home ice advantage</a> played at home for games one and two (and games five and seven, if necessary), and the other team played at home for games three and four (and game six, if necessary).

During the first three rounds, the highest remaining seed in each conference was matched against the lowest remaining seed, the second-highest remaining seed played the second-lowest remaining seed, and so forth. The higher-seeded team was awarded home ice advantage. The two conference winners then advanced to the Stanley Cup Finals, where home ice advantage was awarded to the team that had the better regular season record. </p> <table cellpadding="0"
