Exactly. The NHL should do the following:
3 points for a regulation win
2 points for an overtime win
1 point for an overtime loss
0 points for a regulation loss.
I like the point balance in that, but I don’t like losses getting points (I believe a loss is a loss), and it would add another column to the standings chart. It would help keep teams from tanking the last 5 minutes though, as they’d now be losing a possible point.
