Regulation win: 3 pts
Regulation loss: 0 pts
OT/SO win: 2 pts

Yes, absolutely. The math makes sense and it would result in awarding the right points for the teams that are clearly better.
Also, if we're going to stick with gimmicky things like 3 on 3 and a shootout, I don't feel it's fair to award a full 3 points for those wins. 2 points gives it value, but not the same value as winning a 60 minute 5 on 5 traditional game.
