True. It just takes out the gimmicks of 3 on 3 and the shootout which aren't around for the playoffs. I should have worded my comment differently as you're right, it's not relevant to how NHL calculates the standings.
I do think it's a meaningful indicator. Flames have nearly caught the Oilers in this category after being well behind.
