НХЛ «s Центральный дивизион ( в настоящее время заклеймили как Discover Центрального отдела по причинам спонсорских) была образована в 1993 году в рамках Западной конференции в лиге перестройкой. Его предшественником было подразделение Норрис . В рамках реорганизации 2013 года Центральный дивизион расширился до 7 команд. Это также один из двух преемников Северо-Западного дивизиона . Три его команды - Minnesota Wild , Nashville Predators и Winnipeg Jets (как Atlanta Thrashers) - присоединился к НХЛ на последнем этапе расширения лиги между 1998 и 2000 годами. Четвертая команда в этой группе, Колумбус Блю Джекетс , какое-то время не входила в Центральный Дивизион, перейдя в Столичный Дивизион .

После добавления Vegas Golden Knights в Тихоокеанский дивизион в 2017 году Центральный дивизион стал единственным дивизионом в НХЛ без восьми команд. Эта ситуация оставалась в силе до сезона НХЛ 2020–21 годов , когда пандемия COVID-19 вынудила радикально изменить положение дел, включая временную отмену Восточной и Западной конференций. Центральный дивизион был единственным существующим дивизионом, оставшимся на сезон НХЛ 2020–21. Только три из восьми команд Центрального дивизиона в сезоне 2020–21 были членами дивизиона в предыдущем сезоне.

Центральный дивизион семь раз отправлял пять команд в плей-офф Кубка Стэнли . В первые три сезона после реорганизации в 2013 году команды Центрального дивизиона занимали оба места плей-офф Wild Card в Западной конференции. Это произошло снова в сезоне 2018–19 , в четвертый раз за шесть сезонов. В сокращенном пандемией сезоне 2019–20 все команды Центрального дивизиона вышли в плей-офф Кубка Стэнли 2020 года благодаря формату из 24 команд.
