They also do not provide the number of bonus points coming from goals or corner kicks.[1][2]

  • Regulation win = 6 points
  • Shootout win (SW) = 4 points
  • Shootout loss (SL) = 2 points
  • Regulation loss = 0 points
  • Bonus points (BP): An additional one-point per goal up to a maximum of three points per game.
  • Northeast Division and Midwest Division teams received one point per corner kick each game.
