Yes thats why there is divisional playoff seeding. Since you seem inexperienced with the current playoff hockey format, I will mention that point totals determine home ice starting in the 3rd round.
It used to be the top 8 teams in each conference, then 1v8, 2v7 etc... now its the top 3 teams from each division + 2 wilcards. Format is: 2 vs 3, 1vs WildCard for the 1st round.
There's a playoff format tab in the official nhl standings.
