1 will play 8
2 will play 7
3 will play 6
4 will play 5.

...I think. So if the Flames get through alongside Arizona and Chicago and say Vancouver, seeding will look like:

8 = Chicago
7 = Arizona
6 = Calgary
5 = Vancouver
It’s a bit of a contradiction that the regular season counts for the seeding from the play-in group, but not the top 4.
