Like it was a while ago. For a few years there actually was overtime losses with no points and many players/owners/coaches/fans thought it was unfair so they fixed it. For a while , before shootouts there were as many as four numbers in standings statistics. They stood for wins , losses , ties , overtime losses. These days a team loosing either in the overtime or after a shootout receive a mark in the 3rd column basically meaning they obtained one point for losing a game after 60 minutes of regular play.<br><b>References : </b><br> The overtime loss point serves as a replacement for the point that would’ve been acquired from a tie-game after 3 periods.

A team is awarded 2 points for every win, 1 point for every overtime or shootout loss, and 0 points for a regulation loss. So, for example, the Toronto Maple Leafs current record is 15-11-3, and the Buffalo Sabres record is 15-12-2. The Leafs have 33 points and the Sabres have 32. The Leafs are above the Sabres in the standings because they have one more overtime/shootout loss, even though they have the same number of wins.<br><b>References : </b><br>hockey fan The NHL standings are based on points.
