The NHL is divided into 2 conferences and then 3 divisions per conference. The teams with the most points in each division are seeded 1-3 and the next highest teams are seeded 4-8 for each conference. 16 teams make the playoffs and each round consists of a best of 7 series.

Round 1 (quarterfinals): 16 teams (8 per conference). 1vs8, 2vs7, 3vs6, 4vs5. Seeds 1-4 have home ice advantage*.

Round 2 (semifinals): 8 teams (4 per conference). After the first round, the teams are re-seeded so that the highest ranking team plays the lowest ranking team. i.e. If seeds 1, 2, 5, 6 won in round one, then the matchups would be 1vs6, and 2vs5, with the higher seeds having home ice advantage.

Round 3 (conference finals): 4 teams. Same as round 2. Western winner is awarded the Clarence S. Campbell Bowl and the Eastern winner is awarded the Prince of Wales Trophy.

Round 4 (Stanley Cup finals): 2 teams. The winners from each conference play each other for the Stanley Cup, the oldest trophy in pro sports history. The team with the better regular season has home ice advantage.

*home ice advantage means:

Game 1: better team plays at home

Game 2: better team plays at home

Game 3: better team plays away

Game 4: better team plays away

Game 5: better team plays at home

Game 6: better team plays away

Game 7: better team plays at home

Teams are not "chosen" as such. The top team in each division are seeded 1-2-3 in each conference regardless of the number of points they have. Then the next five teams with the most points are seeded 5-8. These eight teams in each conference then play best of seven series, 1 vs 8, 2 vs 7, 3 vs 6, and 4 vs 5. After each round, teams are reseeded in terms of points and rounds continue until the two conference winners are left to face each other in the Stanley Cup Final.

Teams receive bonuses the farther they go into the playoffs. Those bonuses are paid out to the players equally. Unless players have bonuses writen into their personal contracts, they are not paid during the playoffs. They receive their equal portion of any bonuses the team receives from the league, if they receive any at all.
