All the California teams will play 68 games the rest of the AHL will play 76. Standings are based on point %.
Why is that way? The NHL teams that own the California teams want to play less games for more rest, recovery, and practice days, the rest of the AHL owners don't want that so they can maximize ticket sales. This is the compromise
