In the event that a playoff game ends in a tie, the deadlock is broken using the following system:
Note: Only those stats accumulated during the head-to-head matchup are used to settle ties. Season stats are not factored in.
- Most team goals.
- Most team assists.
- Lowest team GAA.
- Highest team SV%.
- Most team wins.
- Most team shutouts.
- Most team powerplay points.
- Most team shots on goal.
- Most team penalty minutes.
- Most team plus/minus.
- Random "coin flip."
If a team does not meet the minimum games played requirement for goalies during the playoff matchup, they lose any tiebreakers involving goalie statistics.
