This seems needlessly complicated. Why not:
3 points for an outright win
2 points for a shootout win
1 point for a shootout loss
0 points for an outright loss
3 points are awarded in each game. Teams have a one-point incentive to win
in regulation or overtime.
A tip o' the helmet to Mike for suggesting the scheme outlined above.
