How the NHL Standings Work in 2026-27
Teams earn two points for a win and one point for an overtime or shootout loss. The top three teams in each division qualify for the playoffs, and two wild-card spots per conference go to the next-best finishers by points. With the schedule expanding to 84 games this season, every point matters even more in a tighter divisional race.
