Yes, in the Stanley Cup finals home ice advantage goes to the club with the better record. See the 1999-00 season for an example: Dallas won its division and was the #2 seed overall in the Western Conference, while New Jersey finished second in its division and was the #4 seed in the Eastern Conference. But in the Stanley Cup finals home ice went to New Jersey, which had 103 points on the season compared to Dallas' 102 points.
