  • The two teams with the next best records from each conference, regardless if they are in the same or separate divisions
Clinched playoff berth
Clinched wild-card berth

  2. The greater number of games won in regulation or overtime (ROW)
  3. The greater number of games won in any manner (W)

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.
  5. The greater number of goals scored
