Playoff salary cap for teams
NHL teams have been able to exceed the salary cap ceiling if they have players on long-term injured reserve. That has allowed clubs to activate star players who missed time during the regular season at the beginning of the postseason.
Once the new CBA kicks in in September 2026, teams will have to ice rosters in the Stanley Cup playoffs that are compliant with the current salary cap limits. Specific details on how that will work will be released once the agreement is made official by the club owners and players.
