GIH = games in hand on the second wild-card team. Ranked on points, then fewer games played, then regulation wins, then goal difference. The league also uses head-to-head, which this table applies only where the source carries it.
How the table works
Points
- 2 points for a win, however it comes — regulation, overtime or shootout.
- 1 point for losing in overtime or a shootout (the column marked OTL).
- 0 points for a regulation loss.
- A game is never a tie: overtime and then a shootout decide it.
Who makes the playoffs
- The top three in each division qualify — six per conference.
- The next two best records in each conference get the wild cards.
- Sixteen teams in total; the bracket is built within each conference.
Tie-breaks, in order
- Fewer games played (i.e. the better points percentage)
- Regulation wins (RW)
- Regulation plus overtime wins (ROW)
- Total wins
- Head-to-head points
- Goal differential
- Goals for
Reading the columns
- OTL
- Overtime or shootout losses — worth one point
- P%
- Points won as a share of points available
- RW
- Regulation wins — the first real tie-break
- ROW
- Regulation + overtime wins (shootout wins excluded)
- DIFF
- Goals for minus goals against
