How many points for shootout winner in hockey?

Answer 1

If the teams are tied after 3 periods (regulation time), the game goes to a 5-minute sudden-death overtime period. If they are still tied, a shootout is held, with 3 shooters per team. Once a team has more goals in the shootout, they are awarded one goal for the final result.

The winning team gets 2 points, counted as a regular win. A team losing in overtime gets 1 point, counted in the Overtime Loss column. Some papers still list Overtime Losses and Shootout Losses separately, but they're both worth 1 point, and the NHL makes no such distinction.

Answer 2

When a team wins during the NHL regular season, they get 2 points.

Answer 3

The team that wins the shootout gets two points and the team that loses gets one point.

Answer 4

It used to be one point per tie but as of the 2005-2006 season the tie has been eliminated by shootout.

Answer 5

yes
