GF / GA / GD are simulated season totals over the full 84-game 2026-27 schedule, empty-net goals included — comparable to official NHL totals, not per-82 rates. RW / ROW are median regulation and regulation-plus-OT wins; ties in the order are broken by the NHL’s own chain (head-to-head, then goal differential) on those simulated totals. See the methodology.

Seed is a league-wide points ranking; playoff odds fold in each team’s division and wild-card path — so a team can seed above another yet carry lower playoff odds.
