WHAT IF: Now, this might be crazy, BUT!
3 pts - Regulaltion Win
2 pts - Overtime Win
1 pt - Overtime Loss/Shootout Win/Loss
You treat the Shootout essentially like a tie as far as points go, but it is used as a tiebreaker column at the end of the year if a couple teams have the same amount of points. I don't know how that would work, and in fact, the more I type, the more I'm poking holes in my idea.
Oh well, generally though, something like that.

What's the point of having a shootout if you get the same amount of points win or lose? Would take all of the excitement out of the shootout and pretty much defeat the purpose of having it. Simply as a tie breaker sounds terrible to me.
