Its predecessor was the <a href="/wiki/Norris_Division" title="Norris Division">Norris Division</a> and its also one of two successors to the <a href="/wiki/Northwest_Division_(NHL)" title="Northwest Division (NHL)">Northwest Division</a>. The <a href="/wiki/Chicago_Blackhawks" title="Chicago Blackhawks">Chicago Blackhawks</a> have been a member of the Central Division in all of its seasons since the original 1993 realignment. The <a href="/wiki/Arizona_Coyotes" title="Arizona Coyotes">Arizona Coyotes</a> (as the <a href="/wiki/Winnipeg_Jets_(1972%E2%80%931996)" title="Winnipeg Jets (1972–1996)">original Winnipeg Jets</a>), <a href="/wiki/Dallas_Stars" title="Dallas Stars">Dallas Stars</a> and <a href="/wiki/St._Louis_Blues" title="St. Louis Blues">St. Louis Blues</a> were also original members of the division, but were realigned to a different division for a while before returning; both the Coyotes and Stars were moved to the <a href="/wiki/Pacific_Division_(NHL)" title="Pacific Division (NHL)">Pacific Division</a> in 1998 (the Stars moved back to the Central in 2013, and the Coyotes followed in 2021), while the Blues were moved to the <a href="/wiki/West_Division_(NHL)" title="West Division (NHL)">West Division</a> during the temporary 2021 realignment. Three of its teams—the <a href="/wiki/Minnesota_Wild" title="Minnesota Wild">Minnesota Wild</a>, <a href="/wiki/Nashville_Predators" title="Nashville Predators">Nashville Predators</a>, and <a href="/wiki/Winnipeg_Jets" title="Winnipeg Jets">Winnipeg Jets</a> (as the <a href="/wiki/Atlanta_Thrashers" title="Atlanta Thrashers">Atlanta Thrashers</a>)—joined the NHL during a <a href="/wiki/History_of_organizational_changes_in_the_NHL#Further_expansion_(1991–present)" title="History of organizational changes in the NHL">league expansion phase</a> between 1998 and 2000; the Wild. The fourth team in that three-year expansion period, the <a href="/wiki/Columbus_Blue_Jackets" title="Columbus Blue Jackets">Columbus Blue Jackets</a>, was once a member of the Central Division, but moved to the <a href="/wiki/Metropolitan_Division" title="Metropolitan Division">Metropolitan Division</a> after the 2013 realignment. </p><p>After the addition of the <a href="/wiki/Vegas_Golden_Knights" title="Vegas Golden Knights">Vegas Golden Knights</a> to the Pacific Division in 2017, the Central Division was the only division in the NHL without eight teams. This situation remained in effect until the <a href="/wiki/2020%E2%80%9321_NHL_season" title="2020–21 NHL season">2020–21 NHL season</a>, when the <a href="/wiki/COVID-19_pandemic" title="COVID-19 pandemic">COVID-19 pandemic</a> compelled a radical re-alignment of the divisions, including the temporary abolition of the Eastern and Western conferences. The Central Division was the only existing division retained for the 2020–21 NHL season. Only three of the eight Central Division teams for 2020–21 were members of the division in the previous season. </p><p>The Central Division has sent five teams to the <a href="/wiki/Stanley_Cup_playoffs" title="Stanley Cup playoffs">Stanley Cup playoffs</a> on seven occasions. In the first three seasons after the realignment of <a href="/wiki/2013%E2%80%9314_NHL_season" title="2013–14 NHL season">2013</a>, Central Division teams occupied both Wild Card playoff spots in the Western Conference. This occurred again in the <a href="/wiki/2018%E2%80%9319_NHL_season" title="2018–19 NHL season">2018–19 season</a>, for the fourth time in six seasons. In the <a href="/wiki/2019%E2%80%9320_NHL_season#Suspension_of_the_regular_season_due_to_COVID-19" title="2019–20 NHL season">pandemic-shortened 2019–20 season</a>, all Central Division teams made the
