Well in the Stanley cup playoffs it starts off with 16 teams. Both eastern and western conference have eight teams. First round team one plays eight, two plays seven, three plays six and four plays five. Each winner move on to the second round. top seed play the lowest seeds. Winners moves on the to either the eastern or western finals. then the winners of that move on the the final and fourth series. the Stanley cup. and there the top team will be crowned champion.

That depends, when a team makes it into the Stanley Cup playoffs they play teams in a best of seven game (first to four wins) series. The elimination style playful structure is designed to consist of 4 rounds including the Stanley Cup Finals for the two teams which are talented enough to make it past their competitors. So a team can play as little as 16 games throughout the Stanley Cup Playoffs or as many as 28.

How many games are in the NHL playoffs?

There are at least 4 games per best of seven series with a maximum of 7 games per series played. There are a total of 15 series (7 series per conference plus 1 for the Stanley Cup). That's at least 60 games with a maximum of 105 games (if every series goes to game 7). Each team plays 4 series. That means they play at least 16 games with a maximum of 28 games (assuming the team makes it to the Stanley Cup playoffs). TL&DR: 16-28 games per team (assuming they go to the Stanley cup Playoffs). 60-105 games overall.
