To be fair that is incorrect if not a complete season or if teams haven't played the same number of games. The NHL used points percentage during COVID when teams got byes and others had to play in a play in format. Edmonton had the 4th most points in the West with only something like 10-20 games left when the season shut down and would have got a bye in the play in format if it was only based on points but they got bumped to 5th and Dallas got the bye because of points percentage.
