How is home-ice advantage determined for the Stanley Cup final?

Question

How is home-ice advantage determined for the Stanley Cup final?

Answer 1

It is based on which team has the most regular season points.



It would be possible for the last game in the conference championship to determine which league has home-ice.

Answer 2

I believe it is determined by the overall conference record vs. the other conference. For example if the west has more victories over the east, they would have home ice advantage in the finals. This is done so the league can decide the schedule earlier and the possible teams can get tickets and travel arrangements ready, since they would know at the end of the regular season which conference has home ice.

Answer 3

If a second place team in the NHL is playing a third placed team in the NHL, the team with more points gets home ice advantage. example: If Ottawa played Dallas in the finals, as of right now, Dallas would have home ice advantage because Dallas has 83 points as Ottawa has 78 points. Get It?

Answer 4

Overall record. nothing more complicated then that.



But you should know that- your team has been to a Stanley cup final!

Answer 5

I think it's who has the better record.

Answer 6

whoever has more points
