### Group stage tie-breaking criteria[edit]

Teams were ranked according to points (3 points for a win in regulation time, 2 points for a win in overtime, 1 point for a loss in overtime, 0 points for a loss in regulation time). If two or more teams were tied on points, the following tiebreaking criteria were applied, in the order given, to determine the rankings (see 8.4.4. Tie breaking formula group stage standings):[16][17]

1. Points in head-to-head matches among the tied teams;
2. Goal difference in head-to-head matches among the tied teams;
3. Goals scored in head-to-head matches among the tied teams;
4. The higher number of goals in one of the matches among the tied teams;
5. The most goals in the two game winning shot series;
6. If more than two teams are tied, head-to-head criteria 1, 2 and 3 are reapplied exclusively to this subset of teams;
7. If more than two teams are tied, and after applying head-to-head criteria 1, 2 and 3, a subset of teams are still tied, goal difference and goals scored then the results between each of the three teams and the closest best-ranked team outside the subset was applied; best-ranked team outside the sub-group was applied;
8. The higher position in the 2021–22 Champions Hockey League club ranking;
9. Goal difference in all group matches;
10. Goals scored in all group matches;
11. Regulation time wins in all group matches;
12. Overtime wins in all group matches;
13. Overtime losses in all group matches.

## Playoffs[edit]

### Qualified teams[edit]

The knockout phase involves the 16 teams which qualify as winners and runners-up of each of the eight groups in the group stage.

Group  | Winners
(seeded in round of 16 draw)  | Runners-up
(unseeded in round of 16 draw)

|
|

A |  Luleå HF |  Jukurit
B |  EV Zug |  Grizzlys Wolfsburg
C |  Tappara |  Red Bull München
D |  Rögle BK |  ZSC Lions
E |  HC Fribourg-Gottéron |  Red Bull Salzburg
F |  Straubing Tigers |  Färjestad BK
G |  Mountfield HK |  Frölunda HC
H |  Skellefteå AIK |  HC Davos

### Format[edit]

In each round except the final, the teams play two games and the aggregate score decides which team advances. As a rule, the first leg is hosted by the team who has the inferior record in the tournament with the second leg being played on the home ice of the other team. If aggregate score is tied, a sudden death overtime follows. If the overtime is scoreless, the team who wins the shoot out competition advances.

The final will be played on the home ice of the team who has the better record in the tournament.

### Bracket[edit]

The eight group winners and the eight second-placed teams advanced to the round of 16. The teams were divided into two seeding groups and group winners were randomly drawn against runners-up. Teams who had faced each other in the group stage could not be drawn against each other in the round of 16.
