How are points awarded in hockey?

Answer 1

When you look at the NHL standings in the newspaper or online, you will see columns for W (wins), L (losses), and OL (overtime losses). A team gets 2 points for each win, 0 points for each loss, and 1 point for each overtime loss. To determine how many points a team has, multiply the number of wins by 2 and add to the number of overtime losses. Example: An NHL team's record is 40-30-8 (40 wins, 30 losses, 8 overtime losses). Multiply the number of wins (40) by 2 which gives you 80, then add that to the number of overtime losses (8). An NHL team with a record of 40-30-8 has 88 points.

Answer 2

Ice hockey - NHL

Two (2) points are awarded for a win, and one (1) point is earned for an overtime or shoot-out loss, during the regular season.

Losses in the playoffs do not receive points.

Field hockey

The FIH standard tournament guidelines are

• three (3) points for a win,
• one (1) point for a draw - pool matches only, a crossover round requires a result, and
• zero (0) points for a loss.

Most national associations use these for their own tournaments and leagues, and they are always used in any FIH sanctioned competition.

Answer 3

NHL hockey incorporates two types of "points." First, in scoring, goals plus assists equal "points." Thus, a player who scores two goals and has three assists will leave the game with five "points."

Secondly, the NHL determines its regular season division champions by an aggregate of "points": 2 points for a win, 1 point for a loss in overtime or a shootout, and 0 points for a loss in regulation. The team with the post "points" at season's end wins the division crown.

Answer 5

One can earn points in a hockey game a few different ways. For a team to get points in a game, someone from their team would have to get the puck into the net of the opposing team. For an individual player to get a point, they would either have to be the one to score the goal, or be one of two possible people to assist in the goal. Any team that wins, will receive 2 points for winning the game, and if the game goes into overtime, both teams will automatically get 1 point, with the winner receiving 2.
