I'm all for having a discussion regarding extending OT, getting rid of the shootout, having games end in a tie, etc., but to say losing in a shootout is worth zero makes no sense.
I think each game should be worth the same amount of points, whether it's two or three. I prefer the OP's point allocation, but would also be fine with a game ending in a tie and both teams getting one point.

I agree with you there. I think that the shoot out should be removed. And my point system is simply based on the idea that the shoot out is not going anywhere and that I don't like giving out points to teams that lose.
I feel like a game should only be
worth two points. I think it doesn't make any sense for a game's value go from 3 to 2 to 1, like the OP is suggesting. It skews the standings and makes things a mess IMO. 2 points for win, 1 point for a tie. What the hell is wrong with a tie!
