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.

What is 'sudden death' and when does it take place during an NFL game?
The term is not exclusive to the NFL, but refers to a specific method of resolving a sporting event that ends with a tie. In that method, the teams begin an extra period of play (in the NFL called "overtime"). Under normal game rules, the team which first scores in overtime wins the game immediately. The team that loses suffers a "sudden death". There can also be sudden death hockey or soccer games. This is different from baseball, where both teams have an opportunity to bat in their half of the inning before a winner is declared.
What is the typical length of a Kings Hockey game from start to finish including timeouts and breaks?
Sixty minutes. A hockey game consists of three twenty-minute periods. If the score is tied at the end of the third period, the teams play a five-minute sudden-death overtime period. If neither teams score in the overtime, the game ends as a tie. In the playoffs, games cannot end in a tie. So instead of a five-minute overtime, a playoff game has an extra 20-minute sudden-death overtime period. If neither team scores, then there is another 20-minute overtime, and so on, until someone scores. There was a Detroit-Montreal game in 1956 that went to the sixth overtime, finally ending at 176 minutes 30 seconds--almost as long as three ordinary games! Detroit scored in the sixth overtime to win the game 1-0.

In the National Football League, if the score of the game is 0-0 at the end of the fourth quarter, the game is handled like any other tie. The teams play a 15-minute, sudden-death overtime period. If neither team scores by the end of the overtime, the game ends in a tie. However, in the postseason, additional 15-minute overtimes are played until a team scores. In college football, the game is also handled like any other tie, but under the rules of the National Collegiate Athletic Association. Each team gets one possession, which begins at its opponent's 25-yard line. The possession ends when the team scores, misses a field goal, or turns the ball over by fumble, interception, or failure to convert a first down on fourth down. Both the possession and the game end if the defensive team scores on the possession. If the game remains tied after both teams have had a possession, another overtime is played. These alternate-possession overtimes continue until one ends with the game no longer tied.
