I really want to get rid of the shootout. Every game I have gone back to check, the time it takes to prep for the shootout and for 6 shooters to shoot, you can almost have another full 5 minute 3v3 OT. Anytime a shootout goes beyond the initial 3 shooters you would easily get another 5 minutes of OT. Just make OT 10 mins so there isn't that extra stoppage. If you can't win in that time then the extra point isn't awarded.
