Overtime (ice hockey)
Encyclopedia
Overtime is a method of determining the winner and loser of an ice hockey
match when the scores are tied after regulation. The two main methods are the overtime period (commonly referred to as overtime) and the shootout
.
.
For the 1983–84 season, the NHL
introduced a regular season overtime period of five minutes, compared to the twenty minutes of regulation periods. If the five minute overtime period ended with no scoring, the game was a tie (The World Hockey Association had used a 10-minute regular season overtime period, as had the NHL prior to World War II).
In 1987–88
and since 1995
, the American Hockey League
has awarded teams one point in the standings for an overtime loss (OTL). In 1998, the AHL introduced a rule where teams will play the five minute overtime period with four skaters and a goaltender, rather than at full strength (five skaters), except in two-man advantage situations. In a two-man advantage situation, the team with the advantage will play with five skaters. The rule was popular and adopted by the NHL and ECHL
the next season.
Mats Sundin
, Sergei Fedorov
, Jaromír Jágr
and Patrik Eliáš
share the record for most regular season overtime goals with 15 each.
In the Stanley Cup
playoff
s, the teams are at full strength (five skaters, barring penalties), there isn't a shootout, and the overtime period is 20 minutes. Joe Sakic
has the record for most career playoff overtime goals with eight. Interestingly, three of the game's legendary players, Mark Messier
(109 playoff goals), Mario Lemieux
(77 goals), and Gordie Howe
(68 goals) never scored a playoff overtime goal. Overtime periods are played without commercial breaks.
In many leagues (including the NHL for regular-season games since the 2005–06 season) and in international competitions, a failure to reach a decision in a single overtime may lead to a shootout. Some leagues may eschew overtime periods altogether and end games in shootout should teams be tied at the end of regulation. In the three major North American professional hockey leagues (NHL, AHL
, ECHL
), regular season overtime periods are played four on four for one five minute period. In the Southern Professional Hockey League, regular season overtime periods are played three on three for one five minute period, with penalties resulting in the opponents skating one additional player on ice (up to two additional players) for the penalty for the first three minutes, and a penalty shot in the final two minutes.
s one at a time against the opposing goaltender
, with teams alternating shots. After the ten players have all taken their shots, the team with the most goals is declared the winner. If the shootout is still tied after five skaters from each team have shot, the shootout continues one skater at a time until one team has won the advantage (assuring that each team has taken an equal number of shots). The shootout may end earlier, if one team has scored more goals than the opposing team could score with its remaining shooters. This happened during the women's competition at the 2006 Winter Olympics
, in Turin
, Italy. Sweden won an upset victory over the United States after only eight skaters. Sweden led 2 goals to none after the United States' fourth shot, rendering the remaining round unnecessary. This was one of the most significant results in the history of the women's game in that it was the first time that either the USA or Canada had lost in international competition to a third nation.
In 2008, the IIHF adopted a new procedure for penalty shootouts. Each team selects three different shooters to compete in the GWS. If the score is still tied after the three attempts by each team, the GWS continues with a tie-break shootout. One skater from each team shoots until the shooter of one team misses and the shooter of the other team scores. The same or new players can take the tie-break shots, which is also done in reverse order.
) have featured a shootout where, at the end of regulation, a shootout similar to the international tournament format is used.
However, in 2000, the ECHL adopted the AHL's four-on-four overtime before the shootout.
For the 2004–05 AHL season
, the AHL adopted a five-man shootout, which was first used in that league in 1986–87. The standard five-man shootout is used after four-on-four overtime for all minor leagues in North America.
The Central Collegiate Hockey Association is adding the shootout with effect from the 2008–09 season.
Following the lead of minor leagues, as of the 2005–06 season, the NHL ends exhibition and regular season games tied after the five minute length, four skaters per side overtime period with a shootout. Three skaters per team take shots on the opposing goalies, as opposed to the five in international and minor-league competition. The team with the most goals during their three shots is declared the winner. However, if the same number of goals are scored by both teams during the shootout, a sudden death shootout is begun, as in international competition. The teams alternate taking penalty shots, until one team scores and the other does not, thus producing a winner. All skaters (except goalies) on a team's roster must shoot before any player can shoot a second time. As of 2008, the NHL is considering a rules change that would outlaw the slapshot
in shootouts, citing danger to goalies.
The shootout is not used in the playoffs for any North American league. Instead, 20 minute overtime periods are used until a single goal is scored.
In the National Hockey League
and American Hockey League
All-Star Skills Competitions, the competition ends in a penalty shootout known as the Breakaway Relay.
), preferred goaltending style (such as butterfly
or stand-up) and method of challenging the shooter. Goaltenders often consider the shooter's shot preference, expected angle of attack, a patented move a shooter commonly uses and even handedness of the shooter.
Most shooters attempt to out-deke
the goalie in order to create a better scoring chance. Minnesota Wild
forward Mikko Koivu
and Tampa Bay Lightning
forward Martin St. Louis
are examples of players who commonly use this strategy. However, it is not uncommon for a shooter to simply shoot for an opening without deking. This is commonly referred to as sniping. This is most commonly performed when a goalie challenges a shooter by giving them an open hole (by keeping a glove, pad or stick out of position or being out of sound goaltending position altogether to tempt the shooter to aim for the given opening). Former NHL forwards Markus Näslund
and Brett Hull
are two players commonly referred to as snipers. Very rarely a shooter may take a slapshot
or wrist shot
from the point
or top of the slot
. This is almost exclusively performed when a shooter either has a high level of confidence in their shot or they attempt to catch the goalie by surprise. New Jersey Devils
forward Brian Rolston
and Philadelphia Flyers
defenseman Chris Pronger
have both used this strategy with success.

Strategy is considered to be very important during penalty shots and overtime shootouts for both the shooter and the goalie.
