Yes, they give one point to both teams before going to overtime. It's awesome. - David Oct 15, 21:05
standing points or scoring points? - Reagen Oct 15, 21:02 18
- Both -- nm - Ender Oct 15, 21:02 17
  - Saw that one player had 85 points last year and thought "wow, that's like a goal every single game, that seems good". Then they mentioned his 42 goals -- nm - Ender Oct 15, 21:15 16
    - This guys explains it best —Additionally, look up Crash’s question about assists in Hockey -- (pic) - Flavorize Oct 15, 21:25 [Attachment] 12
      - Wait, OT is 3-on-3? -- nm - Ender Oct 15, 21:30 11
        
        yes, unless there's a penalty, when it's 4 on 3. -- nm - Reagen Oct 15, 21:35 10
        
        Wait... So a penalty in ot ADDS a player? -- nm - Ender Oct 15, 21:39 9
        
        yes, because you can't go below 3 skaters on the ice. -- nm - Reagen Oct 15, 21:40 8
        
        Is this counting the goalie as one of the three? -- nm - Ender Oct 15, 21:42 7
        
        no. -- nm - Reagen Oct 15, 21:44 6
        
        But there's a goalie on the ice, right? -- nm - Ender Oct 15, 21:46 5
        
        Unless you decide to pull the goalie for another skater. -- nm - Reagen Oct 15, 21:52 4
        
        (although that's a bad idea in OT as that's one way you can actually lose the OTL point) -- nm - Reagen Oct 15, 21:53 3
        
        Now you're just making shit up! -- nm - Ender Oct 15, 22:12
        
        Wait, what? -- nm - David Oct 15, 21:56 1
        
        Yup. If you pull the goalie and get scored in in ot, you lose the loser point. -- nm - Reagen Oct 16, 05:12
    - ~80 points is all-star territory. 100+ is elite. (for forwards) -- nm* - Reagen Oct 15, 21:20 2
      - Looking at it, it was Johnny Gaudreau so it was actually 115/40 and I was way off on the length of the season. -- nm - Ender Oct 15, 21:33
      - (goals scale pretty well with home runs) -- nm - Reagen Oct 15, 21:21
I think player points are goals + assists. Team points are 2 points for a win and one point for an overtime loss. A NHL vet fan should check my work -- nm - crash davis Oct 15, 21:00 1
- That would seem to also explain what the OTL in the standings means. -- nm* - Ender Oct 15, 21:03
