This is not a big deal, but nonetheless, something I want to clarify.
What is the tiebreaker process in the standings?
For ex: In the Norris Division and Campbell Conference, Hartford and Suffolk are tied with 27 Points apiece. But, Hartford is ahead in overall standings with 3rd Place. Suffolk has more wins, and more goals for. Is the tiebreaker "Goals Against"?

Going to guess it's games remaining. Same thing in the Adams between Cleveland and Johnstown

First tiebreaker is indeed games remaining

Ok good. I'm assuming, if Hartford and Suffolk had same amount of games played, and the season ended as such...then what would be the tie breaker?
Wins Goals For
or
Wins Goals Against

www.puckreport.com/2009/04/tiebreaker-rules-and-conference-seeding.html?m=1NHL realignment and recent revisions to the tie-breaker system, discounting the value of a shootout win in determining regular season standings, have altered tiebreaker rules and playoff seeding. First off, the top three teams in each division automatically qualify for the postseason with two wildcard spots being awarded to the next highest ranked teams in each conference. And yes, it is possible for both wildcard berths in a conference to come from the same division, meaning one division sends five teams to the playoffs while the other sends only three. Total regular season points rules the day in ordering the top three teams in each division as well as wildcard winners. The division winner with the most points is then matched against the wildcard team with the fewest points in the conference, leaving the other division winner to play the remaining wildcard team, while the second and third place finishers in each division battle in the opening round of the playoffs. If teams collect the same number of points, the one with more regulation and overtime wins (statistically abbreviated as ROW) jumps ahead in the standings. Shootout wins DO NOT COUNT for tiebreaker purposes. If teams share the same number of points and wins (i.e., regulation + overtime wins, excluding shootout wins), then the club with more points in their head-to-head season series prevails. If an odd number of games occurred between the teams, points collected in the first game in the city hosting an extra match will be discounted in the math. If teams remain tied after calculating points, wins (i.e., regulation + overtime wins, excluding shootout wins), and their head-to-head season series, then the team with the greatest positive difference between goals scored (GF) and goals allowed (GA) gets the nod.

When looking at the regular season standings, I noticed that the standings are only showing NY as playing 81 games. I'm sure we played 82 and finished with 92 points???

see post I just made responding to Chris. This will only show this way when games are embargoed.

I will eventually change the embargo logic to not embargo games whenever there were no games schedule don a given night.
