No. In 2005, the National Hockey League changed its regular season overtime rules to incorporate the shootout to determine the winner of a game. If the score is still tied after a five minute overtime period played "four-on-four" (four skaters and a goaltender allowed on the ice by each team), the two teams exchange penalty shots at the opposing goaltender. The first round is a "best of three", in that whichever team scores more goals with their first three shooters wins the game. If one team scores twice while the other team scores once, they win the game. If the two teams are tied after three players have taken shots, they alternate shooters until one team has an advantage (one team scores while the other does not).
Before the 2005-2006 season, both teams were credited with a tie in the standings if neither team scored in the five minute overtime period during regular season play.

In what major US sport is home field advantage most important?
During the 2007 (or 2007-2008) seasons, the NBA saw the greatest winning percentage for the home team, at 60%. NFL home teams won 57% of their games, and NHL and MLB teams each won 54% of their games. However 11% of NHL games ended in ties (there were no ties in the NFL that year, and the other sports don't have ties).
