Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the regular season was reduced to 56 games and began on January 13, 2021. Due to cross-border travel restrictions imposed by Canada, the league temporarily realigned for this season, putting all seven Canadian teams into one division.

Stanley Cup
Due to cross-border travel restrictions imposed by the Government of Canada over the COVID-19 pandemic, the league temporarily realigned this season into four divisions with no conferences. Consequently, the first two rounds of the playoffs featured intra-divisional matchups, with the higher-seeded teams receiving home-ice advantage in those rounds. In the Stanley Cup Semifinals, the four remaining teams (one from each division) were re-seeded based on their regular season records.
