Doesn't make sense to me either..
loss = zero points
case closed.

Perhaps the NHL has been influenced by the new parenting style of 'no winners/losers' so little Johnny doesn't have his feelings crushed led to this crap I think.
Sports, by it's very nature is a winners/losers event. Deal with it. We certainly have had to here in Toronto..

NHL rules:
Points are awarded for each game, where two points are awarded for a win, one point for losing in overtime or a shootout, and zero points for a loss in regulation.
Among major professional sports leagues, the NHL is the only one to award a team points for losing in overtime.
