from Dave Hodge of TSN,

...here's a note of caution for 3-on-3 fans; the Tampa Bay-Philly overtime included a penalty shot, and the first-ever game in Brooklyn should have featured one, too. Scott Laughton failed to score on his penalty shot against Tampa goalie Ben Bishop and Nick Leddy of the Islanders slashed Marian Hossa from behind, receiving a minor penalty when the puck should have been placed at centre ice for Hossa.

What's my point?

My point is this; if players are going to stop overtime breakaways by committing infractions that produce or deserve penalty shots, the overtime format that is supposed to prevent shootouts could become its own version of the shootout. I have a solution. If an overtime ends with a penalty shot goal, the losing team forfeits its single point.
