14. St. Louis 48 pts
15. Detroit 39 pts
Minnesota finishes with less pts than NY Islanders but doesn't get demoted because of finishing in 13 place.
The EPL relegates its bottom 4 teams and promotes the top 4 from the Championship League.

In the EPL the bottom three get relegated. In the Championship the first and second place team get automatically promoted. Positions three through six have a playoff, 3 vs 6, 4 vs 5 (this is played over two legs) and the winners play for the last promotion spot.
