    Here's a thought: wouldn't it be smart if whenever you're playing a team of the opposite conference, to arrange the game to go to overtime on purpose so that both teams at least get a point? It doesn't affect your standings at the end and it guarantees you a point each game.

      First, that would start looking suspicious really fast. 

      Second, if you have the ability to get the win and not have to risk that second point, why would you chance it in OT/SO?

      Third, standings come into play in the Stanley Cup Finals.

      @goalie13 Yeah I’m not saying it’s viable at all over the course of a whole season so there’s no arguing with the first point. To your second point though, I’m not sure I really understand: in a regular scenario you start off with 0 points and try to earn 2 by winning the game, in this scenario you start off with 1 point and try to earn 2 by winning the game, you’re not risking anything. To your third point, you’d be getting an extra point as well so any extra point you give to the opponents the opposing conference, you would receive as well, so there’s no harm in the Finals either.

       

      However, in a situation where both team desperately need a point to get in the playoffs, I could see something like this happening.
