The round robin between the top 4 teams will be played with regular season OT and shootouts. The play-in and playoff game will be played with continuous 5-on-5 sudden death with 20 minute OT periods.
McKenzie suggested that on days with 3 games in one city, they'll schedule a round robin game between the 2 play-in games, so that the round robin game can be bumped to a later date if the first play-in game runs extremely long. However, looking at the schedule, it doesn't appear they did that every day. For Game 3 of the Flames-Jets series, the game is the second of 3 games, with play-in games before and after.
I guess they're just going to hope and pray that none of the early games ever go into triple OT.
