Home ice advantage is one thing that points help you with. In the playoffs 8 teams get in each confrence. The 1st ranked (seed) team also plays the 8th seed team. So typically the team with the best record plays a team that barely scraped by into the playoffs. The hard earned points are there to really reward teams that did well in the regular season with home ice advantage and playing a weaker team.
