Understanding the NHL Standings
We have an elaborate current NHL standings table here. Divided into four tabs we have the preseason, division, league, and NHL playoff standings. Bookmark to keep track of how all NHL teams are doing, and how the NHL playoff picture (particularly the wild-card race) is unfolding. Â
Listed in this NHL table are the points each team has accumulated, along with their wins, losses, overtime losses (OTL) and games played thus far. Also, the teams’ home/away records, current streak, record over the last 10 games, and goals for/against, too.
Conference standings are listed, and you can change the season with the dropdown menu. That way, each franchise’s record in recent seasons is also an option.
NHL Format
The NHL operates an 82-game regular season, with the top eight teams in both the Eastern and Western Conferences advancing to the Stanley Cup playoffs. Making the playoffs are the top three teams from each division (each conference has two divisions) plus two wild-card teams, the ones with the most points outside of the top three in each division.Â
The wild-card teams play the division champs, while the other four qualifiers play one another. Under this format, teams with long playoff histories (the Toronto Maple Leafs and Boston Bruins, for example) may continue a rivalry.
The conference playoffs are composed of three series, each one a best-of-seven and leading to the Stanley Cup Final.
