The National Hockey League (NHL) is organized into four divisions: the Atlantic Division and Metropolitan Division in the Eastern Conference, and the Central Division and Pacific Division in the Western Conference. Each division includes a mix of historic franchises and emerging teams, creating intense rivalries and regional matchups throughout the season. Divisional alignment plays a crucial role in determining regular season schedules, playoff qualification, and the structure of the Stanley Cup Playoffs.

Divisions are not just for organizing teams geographically—they directly impact how the NHL season unfolds. Teams play more games against opponents within their own division, making divisional standings especially important for playoff seeding. Fans often follow division races closely, as even a few points can separate teams from making the playoffs or missing out. Understanding the NHL’s division format adds depth to tracking team performance, analyzing matchups, and appreciating the league’s competitive landscape.
