The league's Return to Play Plan is highlighted by a competitive format where 24 teams, 12 in each conference, will resume playing and vie for the Stanley Cup in Phase 4 of the plan. Colorado earned a 3-2 overtime win against the New York Rangers in its last game on March 11, the day before the pause began, and finished the 2019-20 regular-season with a .657 points percentage, the second best in the Western Conference, and will join the St. Louis Blues, Dallas Stars and Vegas Golden Knights in a round-robin series to determine the top four seeds for the 2020 playoffs.
