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.

Two wild card teams make the playoffs in each conference making a total of four.
