Hopefully the NHL likes what the PWHL are doing and move to the 3 for a win, 2 for an OT or shootout win, 1 for OT/SO loss, or 0 for regular loss point system

I'm not much of a hockey spectator, I like a shootout because of the variety/novelty, but I also understand its not the best way to identify the "better" team (whatever that means).

This points system makes sense to me, it incentivizes playing right until the buzzer.

For me, it’s the “oh here’s an extra point” that doesn’t make sense. Soccer allows draws, but a point gets “lost”, 3 for a win, 1 each for a draw. I’d prefer that personally, but this is a good balance.
