If you lose the game in regulation or overtime, who cares? You still lost, so you get nothing. Finishing OT tied is like finishing the game tied, so each team gets a single point. The shootout winner gets an extra point for winning the shootout, but that's it.
Oh god, that's the only possible point system worse than the one we have. Then not only would teams play for a tie for the third period, they'd play for it for overtime too.
