- The top 3 teams in each division are guaranteed a playoff spot. The remaining 2 spots will be filled by the next
two highest-placed finishers in the conference, regardless of division. These will be the "wild card" teams. - Div. Rank numbers in green are teams currently in a playoff spot (1-3 in divisions, and the two wild card teams).
Div. Rank numbers in yellow are teams outside of the playoff picture, but still in contention.
Div. Rank numbers in red are teams who have been mathematically eliminated from playoff contention.

Tie-Breaking procedure:
If two or more clubs are tied in points during the regular season, the standing of the clubs is determined in the
following order:
- The fewer number of games played (i.e., superior points percentage).
- The greater number of games won, excluding games won in the Shootout. This figure is reflected in the ROW column
(ROW = Regulation + Overtime Wins). - The greater number of points earned in games between the tied clubs. If two clubs are tied, and have not played an equal number of home games against each other, points earned in the first game played in the city that had the extra game shall not be included. If more than two clubs are tied, the higher percentage of available points earned in games among those clubs, and not including any "odd" games, shall be used to determine the standing.
- The greater differential between goals for and against for the entire regular season. NOTE: In standings, a victory in a shootout counts as one goal for, while a shootout loss counts as one goal against.
