New AHL playoff structure for 2021-22:

All but 2 teams in each Division will make the postseason. Best-of-three play-in first round, followed by a regular 4 round/16 team playoff -- but with two rounds of best-of-five before 2 rounds of best-of-seven.

The AHL is usually used a testing ground for ideas the NHL is considering... so keep an eye on this.
