What does OTL mean in hockey?
Games lost in overtime or a shootout. Each is still worth 1 standings point, which is why they’re kept apart from regulation losses. The one exception: a team that pulls its goalie for an extra skater in overtime and gives up the winning goal into the empty net gets no point, and the NHL counts the game as a regulation loss.
