In the regular season, teams will participate in the typical five-minute overtime and then a shootout.
In the playoffs, however, the teams will keep playing twenty minute overtime periods until someone scores.
When the game is tied at the end of regulation, different leagues use different methods. In the NHL, there is a five minute, sudden death, four on four overtime. If it is still tied after the overtime period, a shootout determines the outcome. Shootouts mean each team alternates having a shooter go in alone on the opposing goalie to try and score.
They play a second overtime, with the same rules applying. There is no kickoff in the second, fourth, or any other even-numbered overtime; the team with the ball keeps it as in the second and fourth quarters.
No. In regular season games it will go into a 5 minute overtime period and the fist one to score wins. If it is still a tie after overtime a shoot out occurs.
In the playoffs there is a 20 min overtime period and the first to score wins, if no one scores another overtime period is played.
The NHL playoffs typically run until early June.
