Game
editEvery regular season game has three 20-minute periods, with a maximum intermission of 18 minutes between periods.[2] If the game is tied after the 60-minute regulation, a five-minute three-on-three sudden death overtime period is played. If the game remains tied after the overtime period, a shootout decides the game. In a shootout, the team that scores the most penalty shots out of five attempts wins. If the game is still tied after the first five penalty-shot rounds, the shootout continues round by round, until one team scores while the other fails to score.
