Regulation win: 3 pts
Regulation loss: 0 pts

I don't like this because while it makes sense mathematically, it devalues an overtime win and makes it less exciting.
All or nothing. Use the "games back" system like Major League Baseball and the NBA. Part of the thrill of extra innings is it's still all or nothing. You win or you lose, no more in between.
