I honestly think the problem with the points system is awarding too many points. Points are like currency and by adding extra points to the standings, it devalues the worth of a point. Make every point worth more.
I still prefer 2 points for a regulation or OT win (normal 5-on-5 OT for 10 min), and 0 points for the loser.
One point for a shootout win, and 0 points for the loser. Loser always gets 0 points, winning in a skill competition gets you 1 point. Shoot out wins shouldn't have the same value as a regular win. If they are intent on keeping 3-on-3 OT, then make it worth only one point as well. If you fail to win under the regular game rules, then it shouldn't be considered a full win in the standings.
