Is there a reason for this difference compared to hockey everywhere else? As far as I'm aware both IIHF and most leagues do 3 points which are either split 3/0 or 2/1, withe same 5minute 3v3 followed by shootout as the NHL does. The only difference being the 2pt win thing which is really odd if you ask me. The idea that a fixed number of points exists (3 multiplied by the number of games played) in the table regardless of outcomes feels natural.
