How we
count it.

How we count it

We take every NHL final score from this regular season and add up each team's games. Preseason and playoff games are left out. 210 games are in so far.

A win is 2 points. A loss in overtime or a shootout is 1 point. A loss in regular time is 0. Teams on the same points are sorted by fewer games played, then wins in regular time, then wins without a shootout, then total wins.

The NHL has more tiebreak rules than these, so level teams may sit in a different order on its table.
