The 2015–16 NHL season is the 99th season of operation (98th season of play) of the National Hockey League (NHL). Thirty teams compete in 82-game regular season schedules prior to the 2016 Stanley Cup Playoffs.
There are two Stadium Series games planned. The first one will feature the Chicago Blackhawks and the Minnesota Wild at TCF Bank Stadium on Sunday, February 21, 2016, and the other one will be the Detroit Red Wings and the Colorado Avalanche at Coors Field on Saturday, February 27, 2016.
The 61st National Hockey League All-Star Game will be held in Nashville, Tennessee at Bridgestone Arena, home of the Nashville Predators, on January 31, 2016. The All-Star Game will adopt a new, three-on-three tournament format; there will be three 20-minute games, with four All-Star teams based on the league's four divisions. The Atlantic Division All-Stars will face the Metropolitan Division All-Stars, while the Central Division All-Stars will play against the Pacific Division All-Stars. The winners of these two games will then meet in an All-Star Game Final. If a tie remains after 20 minutes, then it will then immediately go to a shootout to determine the winner; there will be no standard overtime.
The Stanley Cup playoffs (French: Les séries éliminatoires de la Coupe Stanley) is an elimination tournament in the National Hockey League consisting of four rounds of best-of-seven series. Eight teams from each of the two conferences qualify for the playoffs based on regular season points totals.
