Answer

In the Kontinental Hockey League (KHL), the top 16 teams from the regular season qualify for the playoffs. These teams are seeded based on their regular-season record, with the top eight teams receiving a bye to the second round. The playoffs follow a best-of-seven format, with the top-seeded team facing the lowest-seeded team, and so on. The winner of the playoffs is awarded the Gagarin Cup, the KHL's championship trophy.
