Overtime - Ice Hockey (gambling)


An extra period of play to break a tie. In most amateur hockey, there is one 10-minute sudden-death overtime period, followed by a penalty shootout if the score remains tied. In its regular season, the National Hockey League plays only one 5-minute sudden-death overtime, with the game concluding as a tie if there is no score. During the Stanley Cup playoffs, the NHL plays successive 20-minute sudden-death overtimes until a goal is scored. See penalty shootout; sudden-death overtime.
