Default NHL Playoffs - I'm confused by the matchups

In the NBA it's easy to keep track of the matchups. 1st seed faces 8th seed. 2-7, 3-6, and 4th seed faces 5th seed. In Hockey it's confusing, the 3rd seed faces the 4th seed?! the 2nd seed faces the 6th?!...I'm confused.

By the way the Leafs fire Nonis. GO LEAFS GO!

Its based on divisions. So the top 3 teams from each division make the playoffs, with the last 2 teams making it being wild cards. The last place wildcard plays the top team in the conference, while the second wildcard plays the top team from the other division. The second and third seeds in each division play each other.

I checked NHL.com and it's starting to make sense. Thanks.
