How to read the NHL standings

GP is games played, GR is games remaining, OT is overtime or shootout losses, and DIFF is goals scored minus goals allowed. Teams earn two points for a win and one point for an overtime or shootout loss.

This table is a standings record, not a prediction or betting recommendation. For the next fixtures, use the NHL schedule; for player and team leaders, use the NHL stats hub.
