Alternate dates for the eighth-finals, quarter-finals and semi-finals are possible. The eighth-finals, quarter-finals and semi-finals will all be two-game, total-goal series with the first game at the home of the lower-ranked team and the second game (including any overtime or shootout) at the home of the higher-ranked team. Home and away dates may also be subject to the availability of the clubs' arenas.
The final will be one game, played at the home of the team with the better combined group stage and playoff record.
