Should a tie occur between two or more teams, standings shall be
decided according to the following priorities:
- Most wins during the regular season
- In games between the tied teams in a regular season series, the team with more wins gets the higher placing, as regulation wins take precedence over OT wins in deciding placements.
- Regulation wins taking precedence over OT wins.
- Goals for minus goals against for each of the tied teams. The team with the best differential earns the higher placing.
- Consideration of games played versus the highest placed team not in the tie, followed by the next highest placed team, etc. Regulation wins take precedence over OT wins.
Note: Where a multiple tie occurs and is only partially resolved by the application of the tie-breaking rules, the remaining ties shall be decided by returning to priority No.1 and working through the order again.
