reglurar season in the nhl is 60 minutes regular time, 5 minutes overtime and then shootup until a winner is found. In the playoffs, it goes on in 20 minute periods (60 minutes regular, the rest overtime) until a winner is found.
In the NHL, two (2) points are awarded for a win, and one (1) point is awarded for an overtime or shoot-out loss, during regular season play.
In the 1970s, the NHL's overtime rules were quite different from today. If a regular-season game ended in a tie after 60 minutes, it remained a tie, as the league did not implement a formal overtime period until the 1983-84 season. In the playoffs, however, games continued with full 20-minute periods until a winner was determined, with no sudden death format. This meant that teams could play for extended periods until one scored, leading to some famously long games.
