Earlier this season, we unveiled our True Record standings.

You can check out the above link for a refresher, but in summation, True Record reorders the standings in a way that discounts shootouts completely. Regulation and overtime wins count as two points, going to a shootout counts as a tie and one point, and any regulation or overtime loss counts as zero points (as it should).

Today, we bring you the updated True Record standings during the only time you really care.

Playoff time.

So how did the shootout affect your team’s final position? Take a look below to find out. “X” marks a playoff spot, and the True Record playoff match-ups are at the bottom.
