Therefor the whole 1 pt each for a tie and then an additional pt for the winner of the SO/3 on 3.
In the playoffs there are no ties as we all know, so it stays 5 on 5 until decided.
In that score it makes perfect sense.

This might be a hot take, but I wish they’d bring back ties.
Sometimes, nobody’s good enough to win. That’s fine. That’s life. Stale mate is a thing.
Nothing ruins an awesome back and forth game with a spirited OT like a shootout.
It’s like “great, we won!”
No, not really.
It’s hockey. We play unlimited 5v5 sudden death in the playoffs.
It’s a reward for a regular season full of ties.
