If I'm not mistaken only one 5 minute overtime in the first 2 games.

In the scenario you have team A wins after Game 2. Only 3 points are
needed for an overall victory. (Win=2, Tie=1) However, if the series points
are matched going into the third game (team A wins, team B wins, or 2 ties)
the third game is played to completion. I believe with 20 minute OT's. Perhaps
shoot-outs if it goes long enough(speculation). But in any case, only 3 points
are needed to win the series.
Now a new question:
Have any of the series since this 3point, 3game playoff started tied in
the first two games? I know the split win is pretty common. Also does anyone
know for sure the 3rd game completion rules?
