It is common knowledge that NHL players don't receive salaries during the playoffs. The league has to set aside a certain amount of money to divide among the 16 teams that make it to the postseason, but the total can vary from a season to another. This year, the organizations received $15 million, which is a bit more than the $14 million they received in 2014-15 and 2015-16.

Here is how much money each team that participated in this year's playoffs received from the NHL, according to The Tennessean's numbers:

Presidents' Trophy Winner: Washington Capitals: $575,000;

First round participants, which include the Chicago Blackhawks, Minnesota Wild, San Jose Sharks, Calgary Flames, Columbus Blue Jackets, Toronto Maple Leafs, Montreal Canadiens and the Boston Bruins, received $287,500 each;

Second round participants (StLouis BluesEdmonton OilersWashington and New York Rangers): $575,000 each;

Third round participants, the Anaheim Ducks and the Ottawa Senators, received $1.45 million each;

The Nashville Predators got $2.6 million, which equals to approximately $100,000 per player if distributed evenly, while the Stanley Cup winners, the Pittsburgh Penguins, got a hefty $4.325 million. 

Each organization has the final word on how to divide these bonuses. Not bad for a couple of postseason games!
