During the 2016-17 NHL playoffs, overtime rules included 20-minute periods with teams playing 5-on-5 until a goal was scored, with no shootout.
When the teams tie in regulation, under NHL rules they play a 5 minute overtime then if they are still tied, they participate in a shootout
The teams who held the top five spots in the 2012 NHL entry draft in order were the Edmonton Oilers, Columbus Blue Jackets, Montreal Canadiens, New York Islanders and Toronto Maple Leafs.
Regulation time for a hockey game is 60 minutes (three 20-minute periods). If the teams are tied after regulation time, overtime rules vary by league. In NHL regular season games, they play a sudden death 5-minute OT period with the teams playing 4-on-4 instead of 5-on-5 (reducing the players opens up the ice in an effort to produce a goal that will end the game). If the teams are still tied after the 5-minute OT period, the teams then move on to a three round shootout. After three rounds, the team with the most goals scored wins the game. If they are still tied after three rounds, then the shootout moves to sudden death and the teams will alternate shooters until one team scores and the other team fails to score. In NHL Stanley Cup playoff games, there are no shootouts and all OT periods are 5-on-5, sudden death, and 20-minutes in length (a regular period). Teams continue playing until a goal is scored. The longest ever NHL game was a triple OT, 116 minute-30 second, 1-0 win by Detroit over Montreal in 1936.
I would differentiate between national teams of various hockey playing countries and teams in pro leagues such as the NHL. If a nation could take all its best players in their prime, the top teams would be Canada, Russia, Sweden, Finland, and the United States. The top pro teams would probably be teams in the NHL such as Boston Bruins, Vancouver Canucks, Washington Capitals, Philadelphia Flyers and Detroit Red Wings, among others.
