In 1983, the NHL added a five - minute overtime, and ties would only occur after 65 minutes. Starting in 1999, teams played with only four skaters ( unless they were on a two - man advantage, when they would be awarded an extra skater until the next stoppage ). Starting in 2015 the NHL began 3 - on - 3 overtime periods. Starting with the 1999 - 2000 season, the NHL credited one point to the team that lost in overtime, leading to a system in which teams could potentially earn three points between them in a single game, rather than a fixed number of two previously. In 2005, the league eliminated ties meaning that any game which went to overtime would be a three - point game. Games that did n't end in overtime would end in a shootout between the two teams. These changes in points awarded therefore make strict comparisons in wins, losses, and ties ( after overtime, 1983 -- 99, and in regulation, 1999 -- present ) before and after these dates slightly problematic. Postseason records Longest Playoff Game : Detroit Red Wings vs Montreal Maroons on March 24, 1936 ( 60 minutes of regulation, 116 minutes, 30 seconds of overtime for a total of 176 minutes and 30 seconds.

A winless streak includes losses in regulation, overtime, shootouts, or ties. After the 2003 -- 04 season, the league eliminated ties meaning any game that was n't finished in overtime would go to a shootout, so any undefeated streak can only include wins after this time.
