In regular season play, if the score is tied after the third period, they play a 4 on 4 sudden death overtime for 5 minutes. If nobody scores they then go to a shootout, with the highest amount of goals scored determining the winner. During the playoffs, the overtime periods are 20 minutes in length and are unlimited in number as to periods to be played.
Only if they had played at least one shift in the playoffs.
Six appearances in the finals as of 2017.
In college football, yes. If the score is tied at the end of an overtime period, the game continues. Overtime rules in college football are set up so that there cannot be a tie game ... overtime periods will be played until one team is ahead at the end of an OT period. In the NFL, not in the regular season. If no team scores in the overtime period, the game ends and is declared a tie. Obviously, in the playoffs there can be a double overtime as those games must have a winner.
1998-1999 Stanley Cup Playoffs... they played the Dallas Stars and lost. GO STARS!!!
