In the NHL, a team does not need to win a specific number of games to qualify for the playoffs, as the playoff spots are determined by the points earned during the regular season. Teams earn two points for a win, one point for an overtime or shootout loss, and no points for a regulation loss. The top three teams in each of the four divisions, along with two wild card teams from each conference, qualify for the playoffs. The exact number of wins needed can vary each season depending on the overall performance of teams in a given year.
