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.
