NHL playoff overtime rules: Postseason hockey bracket brings big change to OT
NHL playoff overtime rules: Postseason hockey bracket brings big change to OT Show Caption Hide Caption Can the Florida Panthers really go back-to-back? With a dominant roster and playoff experience, the Panthers are poised to make a strong run at back-to-back Stanley Cup titles. Sports Pulse The NHL's Stanley Cup playoffs are underway, bringing a major change to the overtime format. No more three-on-three play, no more shootouts after five minutes of scoreless play, as happens during regular-season overtime. There is sudden death, but it could last a very long time. This postseason has seen the third-longest Game 7 when the Winnipeg Jets tied the St. Louis Blues with a furious rally then won it at 16:10 of the second overtime. Two years ago, the Florida Panthers beat the Carolina Hurricanes 3-2 in Game 1 of the 2023 Eastern Conference final in a game that lasted nearly a full four overtime periods. Florida's Matthew Tkachuk scored the winner with 12.7 seconds left in the period in the sixth-longest playoff game in NHL history. So far in the 2025 NHL playoffs, 16 games have gone to overtime, including three double-overtime games. Here's a primer on playoff hockey overtime: How does overtime work in playoff hockey? If the score is tied after three periods, the teams go to the dressing rooms for 15 minutes while the ice is resurfaced. Overtime periods last 20 minutes or until someone scores. It's five-on-five play (barring penalties). If no one scores in the first overtime, the process repeats and continues until someone scores. The teams change sides for each overtime period. The first overtime is the long change to get back to the bench. The NHL Situation Room reviews all goals to make sure they are legally scored. In last year's Stars-Avalanche series, the league upheld a no-goal call on an apparent score by Dallas' Mason Marchment because referees ruled Matt Duchene had interfered with then-Colorado goalie Alexandar Georgiev. Duchene later scored the winning goal. What is the longest overtime in NHL history? 1 - Six overtimes (116 minutes, 30 seconds of overtime) in the 1936 semifinals, March 24, 1935.
