The winners of the quarterfinals round series will advance to the NCHC Frozen Faceoff. Teams are re-seeded No. 1 through No. 4 according to the final regular season conference standings.
The conference tournament champion receives the conference's automatic bid to the 2022 NCAA Division I Men's Ice Hockey Tournament.
