There really isn't any such thing as a loser point. Those always existed as ties. Rather they added a gimmick point for the team that wins the S/O or 3on3.
Under old school standings Edmonton would have finished:
37-26-19
and Calgary:
32-33-17
That's a bigger difference (12 points) when you remove the parts of the game that aren't really hockey.

I agree with this guy (gross).
During a regular season, it should always be win loss tie, no overtime.
