I've looked at points from the D and the correlation with playoffs. It boils down pretty simply: if the D gets over 150 points, you make the playoffs, less, you don't.
There are exceptions of course (BOS was a perennial exception) but the correlation is REALLY strong.
I would assume the 3 goal rule follows an identical path
