Is divisions more important in the condensed schedule than usual?
I mean they cut all the cross conference games but the division to non-division game ratio is also higher, no?
if so shouldn't it be more likely that playoff teams from the divisions be 3,3,2 and atlantic teams are beating themselves down instead of up and only have two playoff teams.

Beating themselves up but not to the point that one of Pitt/phi/NYR miss the playoffs.
