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.

The only way this works is if either the NHL implements sudden death overtime, or eliminates the shootout and reinstitutes ties. Neither of these things will happen.
