ROW is not Wins. If we're tied in the standings, they finish ahead of us.

If two or more clubs are tied in points during the regular season, the standing of the clubs is determined in the following order:

1. The fewer number of games played (i.e., superior points percentage).The greater number of games won, excluding games won in the Shootout. This figure is reflected in the ROW column.

If we win our game and they lose in SO/OT then we have 35 wins and they have 34. We'd have 33 ROW and they'd have 32. So no, there's a situation where we can be tied where we win the tiebreaker.

Just regulation and overtime wins count in the tiebreaker. Right now its 32-32 so it goes to secondary criteria which the jets win. So if the flames win in a shootout and the jets get a loser point the flames finish lower as the tiebreak remains 32-32. But a regulation win and jets loser point means the flames win the tiebreak 33-32

I misread Getbak's post and didn't see the SO part of that particular line

If the Jets had brought up their prospects earlier in the season, and left Hellebuyck up in the NHL, I have no doubt we would be in playoff contention.

Kind of surprised that Howard was in net for the Red Wings against the Bruins. Howard was in net on Wed. night against the Flyers and Mrazek should've started vs. the Bruins. The Ducks and Kings was a great game, good to see the Kings pull it out for the 2-1 reg win.
