Different divisions and conferences. The points are all in order but NJD aren’t in the Atlantic

The standings always reflect the points category, though a difference in games played may have you considering how one team may be ahead of another by the time they play that number of games.

A good point to remember for clarity on the standings, the top 3 teams in each of the 4 divisions go to the playoffs automatically no matter their points.
After that, both divisions in the eastern and western conference are merged with the remaining teams, the 2 teams with the most pts are the wild card teams that finish up the playoff bracket.
Wild card teams can be from the same division or split. In theory, a single division could have 5 of 8 teams make the playoffs.
In the west this year, expect the wild card teams to have not nearly as many points as the wild card teams from the east.
