Magic Magic numbers represent number of points needed to clinch that category. A red * means they've clinched it. Blank means they're out of it.
F: Futility number. If this team misses winning this number of points, or if the 8th place teams wins this many (or a combination), this team can't make the playoffs.> For example, '18 F: 1' in the Playoffs column means this team needs to win 18 points in order to make the playoffs, but if they miss just 1 point, or if the team(s) they are chasing gain just 1 point, then they will be mathematically eliminated.
A RED magic number means they need help in the form of rival losses to be able to make it.
Tie Breaking
  • The fewer number of games played (i.e., superior points percentage). (GP)
  • The greater number of games won, excluding games won in Overtime or Shootout. (RW)
  • The greater number of games won, excluding games won in the Shootout. (ROW)
  • The greater number of games won, in any manner. (W)
  • 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 (DIFF).
  • The greater number of goals scored (including goals scored in Overtime or awarded for prevailing in Shootouts) for the entire regular season. (GF)

TheHockeyPool.com's Strength Chart

TheHockeyPool's Strength Chart compares the Conference teams based only on their records against STRONG teams.
How do we define strong? Easy - the top 8 teams in each division.

Click here to see our analysis of how this helps you pick playoff teams to draft from.

Using the number of games played against the top 8 teams and the points earned in those games, we compute the average points per game, and the points they would have earned all season if they had only played games against the top 8 teams, and kept up their current PPG pace.

The teams with the lighter background are the top 8 in the Conference currently.
