How the league table works
This league table ignores conferences and divisions and ranks every team by points, then points percentage, then regulation wins.
It is the quickest way to compare a team in the East with one in the West, and to see where the NHL's best and worst records sit side by side. It does not decide playoff spots; for that use the Conference view.
