NHL Final Score Guide: Hockey Goals, Overtime and Shootouts
NHL scoring is measured in goals, with overtime and shootout rules determining the official final score when regulation ends tied. For score-pick purposes, the official final home-team score is the relevant number.
What matters in ScorePick
- The official final score is used rather than regulation-only scoring.
- Low totals mean a single late goal can change a pick substantially.
- The Vault still requires exact order across all four drawn games.
