I hope this answers the question. Each of the 2 teams that compete against each other play one day and then get the next day off. Whoever wins a series (not the Stanley Cup Finals)(example: The quarterfinals) gets about 4-7 days before there next opponent .

Divisional Series games (as in the games in the first round of the Playoffs) are best of 5.
Championship Series and World Series games (as in the games in the second round of the Playoffs and in the last round of the Playoffs) are best of 7.

No. In the division semifinals (first round) of the 1986 Stanley Cup, the series were best-of-five-games. Ever since that, all series have been best-of-seven.
