In the NHL, as many as are needed to break the tie. The longest NHL game was played March 24, 1936 between the Montreal Maroons and the Detroit Red Wings in the semifinals of the Stanley Cup playoffs. The game went five full overtime periods and 16:30 into the sixth overtime period before Mud Bruneteau scored for Detroit to give them a 1-0 victory. Total time of the game was 176 minutes, 30 seconds.

How does a golf play off work?

The simplest form of a play off is a sudden death playoff, whoever has the highest score on a hole is eliminated, if the scores are tied the playoff continues until someone is eliminated. The tournament committee is responsible for which hole they choose, it can be the easiest hole or it can be the hardest hole, but usually it is the 18th.
