Where'd you get your info from?
The NHL does do that. Every round, lowest plays highest, etc...
The matchups in the second round are:
(8) L.A. vs (2) StL
(4) Nash vs (3) Phoenix
(7) Wash vs (1) NYR
(6) N.J. vs (5) Philly
The brackets are dynamic, meaning you may not be able to fill them out straight through like you do with the NCAA tourney. The first and second seeds of a conference will not play each other until the Conference Finals, assuming both win out.
