If the team on the penalty kill commits another penalty, then it goes to five-on-three. When the penalty expires, that player can go on the ice and the teams will play even strength at four-on-four until the next whistle. Then, the game resumes to three-on-three. Each team alternates a player coming down alone on a goalie and attempting to score. Three rounds will be played to determine a winner. The one thing to be aware of is that once the scoring chance has been created and shot at, if the team does not score this will often allow the team who has just made the save to be able to create a good scoring chance on the counterattack.
The great thing about 3-on-3 is that it creates many odd-man rushes — an opportunity where the attacking team outnumbers the defending team, such as a 2-on-1 chance. The overtime period is only 5 minutes long. It goes by quickly. However, if a player scores during that time, the game is automatically over. This is not the same in hockey. Once a goal is scored, the game is over and the team who scored, obviously, is the winner. If there are no goals scored in the overtime period, then the game does still does not end in a tie, but, instead, it goes to what is called a shootout.
A shootout in hockey is when each team gets to select three players who each get an opportunity to take a breakaway chance at the goaltender. The team who scores the most cumulative goals amongst the three shooters will be deemed the winner. If the number of goals is tied after each of the three have shot, then each team will select an additional player to shoot. This happens until one team scores and the other does not. If there is a penalty in overtime, the team penalized does not go down to two skaters.
Instead the teams will each add an additional skater and the power play will be 4 vs 3. If the power play ends, the penalized player will come back onto the ice and the play will be 4-on-4 until the next stoppage in play where the teams will go back to the 3-on-3 format.
An important point to note about overtime is if a team loses in overtime or the shootout, then they will still receive a point in the NHL standings. The team winning still gets the same two points as a team who wins in regulation, but in this case the loser in the game also gets a point.
The additional point for overtime was introduced because of the reduced number of players on the ice and the shootout. Before overtime was instituted in the NHL, a team would get a point for a tie. It seemed unfair and too wide of a gap to penalize a team who had played 60 minutes of quality hockey to get to a tie game and then penalize them the extra point for losing at a portion of the game that was not normal hockey ie 5-on-5 hockey. The 3-on-3 and shootouts are definitely modern and recent innovations in the game; the NHL still does not like the idea of a team gaining two points to zero if a game is won in this manner,.
In the playoffs, if a game is tied after 60 minutes of regulation play, it will continue by adding an additional 20 minute period at the same 5-on-5 strength until a goal is scored and a winner determined. One final note about the NHL standings. Coaches will say they are not doing any "scoreboard watching" but, well, that's probably not true.
Like fans, coaches and, yes, players too are checking out both the division and wild-card standings on a regular if not nightly basis to see where they, well, stand. They look at streaks and "last 10" and who is racking up ROW. They are learning a lot.
