Ever wonder what impact there would be if shootout were eliminated?

If you received 2 points for a win (regulation or overtime), 1 for a tie and 0 for a loss, not much in the East would change. The largest differential in the standing would occur for Atlanta who would fall the spots. Most teams would not move at all.
