In an earlier message I said I would go composite-digging and try to figure out how many games are settled in the 5-minute OT. This is for the current season up to Dec. 28th. Total number of games: 488 Total number of OT games: 62 (~1 game in 8) 6 of those OT games were in tournaments. I left those aside because it can't easily be determined how long the games took. That leaves us 56 OT games: (28 league and 28 non-league games, FWIW) 25/56 (44.6%) had winners. League games (12/28) and non-league games (13/28) split almost exactly the same way. I will try to do the previous year or two to see if this is the normal pattern.
