Playoff Match-Ups
Chicago v. Winnipeg
St. Louis v. Minnesota
Anaheim v. San Jose
Los Angeles v. Vancouver

2) Washington Capitals: 57 points in 48 games (24 ROW)
3) New York Rangers (Atlantic): 56 points in 48 games (22 ROW)*
         *New York and Detroit are tied in points and ROWs so the next tiebreaker would be season series. Since they didn't actually play each other this season, I'm just going to give this spot to New York for now because they are both in either way.

Northeast/Southeast (Looking forward to Bettman's "Senisble Geographic Division Name")
1) Montreal Canadiens: 63 points in 48 games (26 ROW)
2) Boston Bruins: 62 points in 48 games (24 ROW)
3) Toronto Maple Leafs: 57 points in 48 games (26 ROW)

Eastern Conference Wild Card Standings:
1) Detroit Red Wings (N/SE): 56 points in 48 games (22 ROW)*
2) Ottawa Senators (N/SE): 56 points in 48 games (21 ROW)*
3) New York Islanders (Atlantic): 55 points in 48 games (20 ROW)
4) Columbus Blue Jackets (Atlantic): 55 points in 48 games (19 ROW)
5) Philadelphia Flyers (Atlantic): 49 points in 48 games (22 ROW)
6) New Jersey Devils (Atlantic): 48 points in 48 games (17 ROW)
7) Buffalo Sabres (N/SE): 48 points in 48 games (14 ROW)
8) Carolina Hurricanes (Atlantic): 42 points in 48 games (18 ROW)
9) Tampa Bay Lightning (N/SE): 40 points in 48 games (17 ROW)
10) Florida Panthers (N/SE): 36 points in 48 games (12 ROW)

Playoff Match-Ups
Pittsburgh v. Senators
Washington v. Rangers
Montreal v. Detroit
Boston v. Toronto

The only changes in terms of teams making the playoffs are that with Detroit moving east they take the Islanders' playoff spot and the Jets get in out West replacing them.
