Win - 3 points
OT win - 2 Points
OT loss - 1 point
Loss - 0 points
Just make OT - 5 minutes 4 on 4, followed by 5 minutes 3 on 3, and so on. At the end the 1 on 1 will replace the shootout and there will be lots of breakaways anyways.
Problem has always been the playoffs, need to change the wildcard format so you have a couple teams in each division playing best of 5 (or 3) to compete for the last playoff spot.
