from Gary Thorne at USA TODAY,
One of the obvious results of the shootout in the game is that at this point of the season, teams in the running are looking for that one point first and then hoping to get the bonus in overtime or in the shootout.
There is a danger in that mentality for the game.
Third periods should be all-out attempts to win close games, not attempts not to lose. The pressure is there for teams that need points to shut down the offense in tied third periods, especially if they have the personnel to win the shootout.
