Fun Fact:
So far this year, teams in the Western Conference have a combined 44 points earned from Overtime Losses (the "loser point"). Comparatively, teams in the Eastern Conference have had far fewer games go into OT, and have only 24 "loser points" in the conference.
With teams not playing out-of-conference games this season, Western Conference teams have generated 20 more points in the standings than Eastern Conference teams have.
- Is the disparity between good teams and bad ones bigger in the East?
- Is the fact that one league scores more goals a factor? The Eastern teams have a combined 806 goals scored for, whereas the West have 747.
