The winners of the series, who will advance to the final, will be determined according to the following criteria:
- The team that scores the most goals after 120 minutes of hockey (two regulation games) is the winner. For this purpose, the football "away goal rule" does not apply. All goals carry equal weight.
- No Overtime or Game-Winning Shots (shootout) are played after the first game, even if it ends in a tie. Overtime will only be played after the second game if the total series score is even.
- Overtime in the eighth-finals, quarter-finals and semi-finals is 10 minutes in length and sudden-death (golden goal). Teams skate 4-on-4 at full strength.
- As in all penalty shootouts so far in the CHL, teams will continue to use five shooters each.
The winners of the two series will face off in a one-game final, to be played Tuesday, 3 February at the home of the team with the better overall CHL record. Read here for more details.
