The regulation time for a hockey game is 60 minutes of playing time, divided into 3 20-minute periods. If at the end of 60 minutes one team is ahead, the game is over and the winning team is awarded two points. However, if at the end of regulation (60 minutes), the score is tied, then teams play a five minute 4-on-4 overtime. If the game is not settled in overtime, then teams use a shootout to determine a winner. The 4-on-4 overtime and shootout do not apply in the playoffs, however, where unlimited 5-on-5 OT is used to determine a winner.
