NHL Playoff tie breakers?
Ok, so the NHL is getting down to the playoffs.
If two teams finish with the same number of points, I believe the first tie breaker is head to head competition. Correct?
What's next? Number of wins?
Then division record.... then conference record?
If anyone can lay this out, I'd appreciate it.
Thanks.

The first tiebreaker would be the number of wins, then:
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.
Goal differential

first tie breaker is over all wins, then season series wins, then head to head comp.
