In the NHL, tiebreaker rules for wildcard teams are determined by a series of criteria. The first tiebreaker is the team with the most regulation and overtime wins (ROW). If teams are still tied, the next criteria is the head-to-head record between the tied teams. If the head-to-head record is also tied, the next criteria is the team with the best goal differential in all games played. If the tie still persists, the team with the most goals scored in all games played is awarded the higher seed.
The NHL uses several tiebreaker rules to determine standings when teams are tied in points. The first tiebreaker is the number of regulation and overtime wins (ROW) a team has. If teams are still tied, the next tiebreaker is the head-to-head record between the tied teams. If teams are still tied, the next tiebreaker is goal differential. If teams are still tied, the final tiebreaker is the total number of goals scored.
In the 2016 NHL playoffs, tiebreakers were determined by head-to-head record, followed by regulation and overtime wins (ROW). If teams were still tied, the next tiebreaker was goal differential. These rules impacted the outcome of games by determining playoff seeding and which teams advanced to the next round based on these criteria.
