The NHL Board of Governors has agreed on a realignment plan for the 2012-13 season that divides the league into four conferences, two with eight teams and two with seven. Here is a look at the conferences, now being referred to by letters A, B C, D:
Geographical location was the main factor in the alignment. As you can see, the Blues maintain their rivalries with both Detroit and Chicago, and to a lesser extent Dallas, Nashville, and Columbus and their budding rivalry with Minnesota.
Schedule:
The new alignment gives fans a chance to see every NHL team. Each team will play each other at least twice, once at home and on the road.
The top four teams from each conference will advance to the playoffs.
