==Standings==
The MIAC uses a system where teams are awarded three points for a regulation or overtime win, two points for a shootout win, one point for a shootout loss, no points for an regulation or overtime loss. The NCAA allows shootout for conference games; but, considers games determined in a shootout to be a tie for record keeping purposes and these standings reflect the NCAA policy for W-L-T but the Pts totals are based on the conference's system.
