==Format==
The 16 teams are divided into two groups of which the four best from each will advance to the quarter finals. Here they will meet cross-over as indicated in the section below.
In the group round, points were awarded as follows:
*3 points for a win in regulation time (W)
*2 point for a team that drew in regulation time but won the following overtime/game winning shots (GWS) (OTW)
*1 point for a team that drew and lost the above-mentioned competition (OTL)
*0 points for a team that lost in regulation time (L)
If two or more teams finished with an equal number of points in the same group, their standings were determined by the following tiebreaking formula:
#Points in games between the tied teams
#Goal difference in games between the tied teams
#Goals scored in games between the tied teams
#Results against the closest best-ranking team outside the original group of tied teams
#Results against the next highest ranking team outside the original group of tied teams
