Since Columbus got an OTL point tonight, and Anaheim lost, they are the only two teams whose points-blown total changed. The Columbus OTL point perfectly illustrates why I like thinking of the standings this way: in the “real” (ESPN) standings, Columbus got a point, so they moved up in the official standings into 8th place, from 10th. But, to my way of looking at it, they lost a point they could have had. So in my standings, they move down, not up: they drop out of a tie with LA and Detroit and slip down into a three-way tie with Dallas and Phoenix.
