That's kinda stupid. So teams that go to overtime get 3 points between themselves, yet teams that end in regulation only 2???

2 points for a win, none for a loss, 1 for a tie... and 1 for an overtime loss? i'm sure about all but the overtime loss part.
They made the change because they believed it would open up more OT wins. It seemed as though teams would not want to risk the point going for a win in OT.Originally posted by: kt

the 1 point for overtime loss was adopted in 1999, I think. They also made it 4 players from each team instead of the usual 5 players from each team on the ice.

Very true... But what I meant was (with the old system), the teams wouldn't want to lose the point in OT, so they'd play very conservative.Originally posted by: Aquaman

If they are in the same conference they won't go for it but if they are in different conferences then they will because it does not really matter if they only get the one point

With the change, you cannot lose a point in OT.

Also Overtime loss = 0 if you pull your goalie and they score.
