Should OT wins count in the wins tiebreaker?

[Tuggy]

Right now in the standings we have a column for ROW (Regulation/Overtime wins) and this counts as a tiebreaker in the standings. But should an OT win (3 on 3) really have the same weight as a regulation win?

I'm in the camp that a regulation win should be 3 points and an OT/SO win 2 points but that's another discussion because I don't see the NHL doing that.

But this change is fairly minor and would make regulation wins have more weight, which I think they should, in the standings.

So drop the "O" and just have a "RW" column.

I hate 3 on 3 so I'm gonna say regulation wins are worth more.

I'd agree. A team shouldn't win a tiebreaker because they're better at 3-on-3. If two teams are tied, the better 5-on-5 team should be ahead in the standings.
