bullet::::- 3-on-3 overtime: overtime during the regular season will now have three skaters per side, instead of the 4-on-4 overtime system that had been used since 1999–2000. however, if there are carry-over penalties from the third period to overtime, a side is still guaranteed to have at least three skaters and the man-advantage will be adjusted accordingly (e.g. a 5-on-4 power play at the end of regulation will be converted to a 4-on-3 one at the start of overtime). the board of governors implemented 3-on-3 overtime to help decrease shootouts. jason garrison of the tampa bay lightning scored the first 3-on-3 overtime goal on october 9, 2015 for a 3-2 victory over the philadelphia flyers.
