During the regular season, one. After the five minute overtime period, the game is settled by a shootout. During the playoffs there is no limit. The teams continue playing until someone scores.

When does a soccer game go into penalties?

If the organizing authority (tournament or league) determines that a winner must be determined, and the score is tied at the end of regulation, then two more overtimes of 15 minutes each are played. If, after both overtimes are played, the score is still tied then the winner is determined by kicks from the mark.


What are the rules and regulation of hockey?

The NHL rules are too many and too involved to list here. I would suggest you go www.NHL.com and check out the rulebook yourself. Also, you can simply Google NHL rulebook or NHL Official Rules. You should also remember that, while hockey is hockey, a number of rules/regulations used in the European/international game are different from the NHL pro game.

How many periods are in an NHL game?

A regulation NHL game consists of three 20-minute periods. Depending on the amount of breaks during the first and second periods, the intermissions between periods can last from 15 to 20 minutes. There are three television timeouts in each period. During the regular season, a game that goes beyond regulation will have a brief timeout (sometimes not long enough for a commercial break) followed by a 5-minute sudden death overtime. As of the 2005-06 season, any game not decided by the end of overtime in the regular season will go to a shootout. In the playoffs, regulation periods and intermissions occur as they do in the regular season. However, shootouts are not implemented and all overtimes are 20 minutes long. Time between peroids is generally shorter, closer to ten minutes, and there are no commercial breaks in overtime. So, there are only Three Periods!!
