Points wise is exactly the same thing if the shootout isnt around.
Old system... 5 wins 5 losses 1 tie = 11 points. New system...5 wins 6 losses =11 points.
If you consider yesterday a loss, then they should only have 10 points now.
Its a ridiculous system but it does make for parity and keeps teams in the hunt much longer than it used to.

Okay, but an another team 'won' the game. So a team won a game, and the other team tied? Tied with who? Logically it doesn't make sense, hence a shootout loss is still called overtime loss.
