How the NHL season is organised
The National Hockey League has 32 teams in the Eastern and Western Conferences, grouped into four divisions: Atlantic, Metropolitan, Central and Pacific. Each team plays 82 regular-season games. Sixteen teams reach the playoffs, which consist of four best-of-seven rounds and end with the Stanley Cup Final.
How an NHL game is played
A game has three 20-minute periods. In the regular season a tie after regulation goes to a short overtime and then a shootout, while playoff games continue in sudden-death overtime until someone scores. That is why a live game can run well past its listed end time.

Frequently asked questions
How do NHL standings points work?
A team earns two points for a win and one point for an overtime or shootout loss, and no points for a loss in regulation. Standings are ranked by points.
What time are NHL games on?
Most NHL games start in the evening, with some afternoon games on weekends. All times on this site are shown in U.S. Eastern Time (ET), which is UTC-5 in winter (EST) and UTC-4 in summer (EDT), so the label on each card always says which one applies.
Why can a live game outlast its end time?
Overtime and shootouts extend games beyond the scheduled length, while the end time in the feed is only an estimate.
