In my simulation of the 2017-18 NHL season, there was a close race in the Western conference for the last wild card playoff spot (see below). FHM4 selected Minnesota to make it to the playoffs, leaving Winnipeg out in the cold. Both teams had the same number of points in the standings, but Winnipeg should have been in the playoffs by the first NHL tiebreaker (number of regulation and overtime wins).

Notice that Minnesota is listed as having 6 shootout wins, meaning that they ended with 43-6 = 37 ROW (actually when I checked Minnesota's schedule of games, they in fact had 8, not 6, shootout wins, so it appears there may be an error in computing SOW as well). Winnipeg had 5 SOW (I checked and this value is correct), so their ROW was 46-5 = 41, so they should have beaten out Minnesota for the last wild card spot. (Arizona was 3rd in the Pacific division, so they were in the playoffs by virtue of finishing in the top 3 in their division; Chicago was the other wild card team).
