Records and totals are computed from completed regular-season games through Wednesday, Jan 21, 2026. The table is ranked on points, and clubs still level are separated by the league's own order: fewer games played, shown as PTS%, then regulation wins, then regulation plus overtime wins, then the record between them, then goal difference, then goals scored. Where this differs from the published procedure, stated rather than hidden: where two clubs played an unequal number of home games against each other the league discounts one of those meetings, and that adjustment is not applied. So a tie the league would settle there may come out in a different order here. Game results from Wikipedia, licensed CC BY-SA 4.0.
