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.
