The top two teams outside their division's top three hold the wild card spots. The dashed line on the chart is the pace of the last spot. The New Jersey Devils and New York Islanders share third place in the Metropolitan, so both are shown here and count as one place. While the season runs, teams tied here share their place, and the league's own tiebreakers, which this site applies only once a season ends, may already put one of them ahead.
