Don't know.Is if this is the case what happens when the PP is over? Do they just play 4 on 4 until the next stoppage in play?
Adding the 4th player to the ice would be the easiest thing to do though vs trying to pull one player off.

NHL needs to change the point structure so OT wins count for more than SO wins:
- 4 points = Out-and-out win
- 3 points = OT win (1 point for tie in regulation + 2 points for OT win)
- 2 points = SO win = (1 point for tie in regulation + 1 point for OT win)
Well I like some of what you've mentioned but not others.Why even bother with a points system at all? Why not just go with a straight win-loss record? In the NFL teams don't get an 'atta boy' half of a win if they lose in OT. In the MLB teams don't get an 'atta boy' half a win if they lose in EI. Since there are no ties, what's the point of a points system? A win is a win and a loss is a loss. I'm all for the shootout! It brings a few moments of excitement to some otherwise boring games at times. Like scoreless ties. Leave those for boring soccer. I do however think OT should be longer. Five minutes four on four, five minutes three on three, sudden death. If no winner the go to the shootout. That sounds good.
