How does an Olympic ice hockey game end if the two teams are tied after the third period? Here are the overtime rules for Olympic ice hockey.
If two teams are tied at the end of the 60 minutes of regulation, it's not as simple as next goal wins. The overtime periods are all dependent on what stage of the tournament the games are being played.What are the overtime rules for a group play or quarterfinal game?
If a game is being played during the group play of the preliminary round, or is a quarterfinals matchup, then the two tied teams will play a five-minute overtime consisting of 3 on 3 play. The first team to score during this extra period wins the game. However, if neither team scores after five minutes, the game goes to a shootout. Each team names three players to the shootout. After the three tries, if the shootout remains tied, any player can go after the three shooters have gone, including the same player. This will act as a sudden death-style of a shootout, where each team goes back and forth trying to score.
