I don't smell disgusting, musky, and rancid

Are we sure about Ov? My understanding is the pre playoff games are not playoff games. They count for setting seedings and for who gets in. Its a detail. Do the Caps round robin games stats count? You would think the PA would insist that they count toward service. Maybe I just missed where they said they don't count.
How they will track stats from those games seems to be undetermined, but they won't be included in RS stats. From TSN (NHL outlines 24-team return-to-play format, June 26 Draft Lottery - TSN.ca):
> What does that mean for the 2019-20 regular season and statistics?
The 2019-20 regular season has been completed for all record-keeping purposes. That means that the Boston Bruins have captured the Presidents' Trophy with 100 points; Alex Ovechkin and David Pastrnak will share the Rocket Richard Trophy with 48 goals; and Leon Draisaitl will be the league’s scoring champion and Art Ross winner with 110 points.
Ovechkin was robbed of the chance of a ninth career 50-goal season, but this is his ninth Rocket Richard. ...
It has not yet been determined how the round-robin or play-in round stats will be kept. The NHL made it clear on Tuesday that those games will not count as playoff games.
