🏒 Without NHL stars, can TeamUSA men’s ice hockey bounce back at the WinterOlympics?
There are no ties during group play, with even games going to overtime and then a shootout if it remains tied. A regulation win is worth three points, an overtime or shootout win is worth two, an overtime or shootout loss is worth one and a regulation loss earns zero.
A knockout format is used for all playoff round games, meaning one loss will end a country’s hopes for a gold medal.Olympic hockey mirrors the rules of the International Ice Hockey Federation rather than the NHL. The actual rules of the game are mostly similar, but one noticeable difference is the width of the rink. The IIHF uses a wider rink than the NHL, which allows for a faster, less physical style of play.
