Home ice obviously is still up in the air as well. The Rangers will be the road team against either West opponent if they advance, and the Blackhawks will have home ice should they advance. Montreal holds the home ice edge against Los Angeles -- they had the same exact 46-28-8 record in the regular season but the Habs had two fewer shootout wins -- but the Kings will have home ice if they face the Rangers in the Final. The Kings finished 10th in the league with 100 points and Chicago finished 7th in the league with 107 points. New York finished with 96 points.
