 | Tie Breaking Your Way Into The Playoffs |
 muckies writes "The East is so close, 2 points separates the 7-11 spots, you have to figure that at the end of the regular season, at least 2 teams will be tied in points for the final playoff spots.....
Tie breaking goes on wins, all the 7-11 spot teams have either 34 or 35 wins, then it goes to intermatch play, THEN TO GOAL DIFFERENTIAL.
Here's how it breaks down
Differential
7. NY Islanders + 9 Goals 209 for - 200 against
8. Carolina - 7 Goals 208 for - 215 against
9. Toronto - 8 Goals 219 for - 227 against
10 NY Rangers + 7 Goals 220 for - 193 against
11. Montreal - 15 Goals 208 for - 223 against
This means in a tie break, the Islanders and Rangers would be in the playoffs due to their psoitive goal differential, Montreal has the least chance with Carolina and Toronto about in the middle.
It looks pretty likely a tie-break like this is going to happen with the race so tight, your team may have enough points to get into the playoffs, but won't make it because they gave up to many goals."

(User Info | Send a Message) | Actually,
it is:
1) wins
2) points obtained in the SEASON-SERIES between the two teams being tied.
3) THEN goal differential
(http://www.nhl.com/nhl/app?service=page&page=StandingsPage&type=CON) on the site it has 4 tiebreakers starting with the fewer number of games played but obviously by the end of the season, everyone has played 82 games. So, if there is a tie in points, it goes Wins, then season-series, then goal differential.
