When you look at the NHL standings in the newspaper or online, you will see columns for W (wins), L (losses), and OL (overtime losses). A team gets 2 points for each win, 0 points for each loss, and 1 point for each overtime loss. To determine how many points a team has, multiply the number of wins by 2 and add to the number of overtime losses. Example: An NHL team's record is 40-30-8 (40 wins, 30 losses, 8 overtime losses). Multiply the number of wins (40) by 2 which gives you 80, then add that to the number of overtime losses (8). An NHL team with a record of 40-30-8 has 88 points.

Ice hockey - NHL

Two (2) points are awarded for a win, and one (1) point is earned for an overtime or shoot-out loss, during the regular season.

Losses in the playoffs do not receive points.

Field hockey

The FIH standard tournament guidelines are

  • three (3) points for a win,
  • one (1) point for a draw - pool matches only, a crossover round requires a result, and
  • zero (0) points for a loss.

Most national associations use these for their own tournaments and leagues, and they are always used in any FIH sanctioned competition.

NHL hockey incorporates two types of "points." First, in scoring, goals plus assists equal "points." Thus, a player who scores two goals and has three assists will leave the game with five "points."

Secondly, the NHL determines its regular season division champions by an aggregate of "points": 2 points for a win, 1 point for a loss in overtime or a shootout, and 0 points for a loss in regulation. The team with the post "points" at season's end wins the division crown.

One can earn points in a hockey game a few different ways. For a team to get points in a game, someone from their team would have to get the puck into the net of the opposing team. For an individual player to get a point, they would either have to be the one to score the goal, or be one of two possible people to assist in the goal. Any team that wins, will receive 2 points for winning the game, and if the game goes into overtime, both teams will automatically get 1 point, with the winner receiving 2.

From scoring goals or assisting on goals.

One (1) point is awarded for each of those tasks.

When a team successfully puts a puck in the other team's goal net, the point is awarded.
