There's no official word on that yet and no one still knows, but the logical thing would be... and i am pretty sure this will be the case..

if a game goes to OT, right away, both teams are awarded at least 1 pt.. The losing team in OT gets 1 pt, and the winning team in OT gets the full 2 pts, just like last year..

If a team wins in the regular 5 min OT, then that goes towards 1 goal in OT. So if teams are tied 3-3 in OT and someone scores, it's 4-3 final and total is 7.. but like i said, losing team still gets 1 pt, winning team gets 2 pts.

And if it gets to a shootout, i believe only 1 goal will count towards the total. So if one team scores 3 goals in shootout and one team scores 2 goals in the shootout alone, only one goal will go towards the total.. So if it's 3-3 going into shootout and one teame then scores 3 and other team scores 2 goals in the shootout, then final would be 4-3, not 6-5..

I am pretty sure this is how it will be scored. Any other way does NOT make sense.
