Yes.
30th goes to the Stanley Cup champ
29th goes to the other Conference champ
28th goes to the higher ranked losing Conference finalist
27th goes to the lower ranked losing Conference finalist
26th - ? go to the remaining Division winners in reverse points order
? - 15th go to the remaining teams eliminated in the first two rounds of the playoffs in reverse points order
For example, the same thing happened last year, Pittsburgh and Philadelphia both had more points than Florida and Boston (in fact, only two playoff teams had fewer points than Florida), but the Panthers and Bruins picked 23rd and 24th.
