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.

I think this argument actually works against the current system...having some games award 3 points while others only award 2 is more 'devaluing'.
Getting a game to OT and losing is worth 50% as much as winning in regulation. Winning in a shoot out is worth 100% as much as winning in regulation.
Wouldn't it be better to change those numbers to 33% and 67%?
