The game is over.
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.
Sundin is tied with Jaromir Jagr, Sergei Fedorov, and Patrik Elias for the most regular season overtime goals scored in NHL history with 15. Sundin also recorded overtime goals in the playoffs on April 18, 1996 and April 13, 2001.
This question depends on the level of play. In the NFL, double overtime can only occur in the playoffs, as games which go scoreless through one overtime in the regular season end in a tie. In college, the second overtime rules are identical to the first, with each team getting a chance to score from the 25-yard line. However, the order in which the teams has the ball is reversed from the first overtime.
If at the end of 4 quarters the game is tied, the game goes into overtime where the first team to score wins. A coin flip determines who gets the ball first. If the game is still tied at the end of the 15 minute overtime period, the game ends in a tie. If it is the playoffs, the game will be played until there is a score.
First team to score on overtime wins
In regular season play, if the score is tied after the third period, they play a 4 on 4 sudden death overtime for 5 minutes. If nobody scores they then go to a shootout, with the highest amount of goals scored determining the winner. During the playoffs, the overtime periods are 20 minutes in length and are unlimited in number as to periods to be played.
There can not be a tie at the end of the regular time period of the game. If there is, the teams play overtime. If neither team scores in overtime (15 minutes) in regular season, the game ends in a tie. There are no ties in the playoffs.

In college football, yes. If the score is tied at the end of an overtime period, the game continues. Overtime rules in college football are set up so that there cannot be a tie game ... overtime periods will be played until one team is ahead at the end of an OT period. In the NFL, not in the regular season. If no team scores in the overtime period, the game ends and is declared a tie. Obviously, in the playoffs there can be a double overtime as those games must have a winner.
Yes
Here are the overtime rules for the NFL and the NCAA Football In the NFL's regular season, if a game is tied at the end of regulation, it goes into Overtime. The visiting team gets to choose heads or tails for the coin toss. They play another 15:00 minute period. The first team to score (Whether by TD, field goal, or safety. Doesn't matter), automatically wins the game. If no team has scored by the end of the Overtime period, the game is deemed a tie. This is a rare occurrence. In the NFL's post season games (Playoffs and Super Bowl), the rules are the same as the regular season, except once the 15:00 minute overtime period runs out, they start another 15:00 Overtime period. It should be noted that no Super Bowl has ever gone into Overtime. The longest NFL game was between the Miami Dolphins and the Kansas City Chiefs on December 25, 1971. The Miami Dolphins kicker Garo Yepremian kicked the game winning field goal 7 minutes and 40 seconds into double overtime. In NCAA Football, if a game goes into Overtime. Each team gets a chance to score from the opponent's 25 yard line (25 yards from the endzone) with no game clock. If the score is still tied after the first overtime period, they play a second overtime period. This process repeats itself until someone is winning at the end of an overtime period. Starting with the third Overtime period, teams who score TD's are required to go for a 2 point conversion, instead of kicking a single extra point.
That question was asked in many rule changing portions on the offseason, they ARE however thinking of changing the overtime rules to the college type overtime, in that overtime, each team gets a chance to score from the opponents side of the field, if they score, the opponent must score the same amount of points (touchdown or field goal) to still have a chance, but if they don't score, they lose. There's no news on IF they're going to make the change, but the teams in the NFL who have lost in overtime a lot certainly want the change soon.
