If you lost in OT before the change, you’d receive zero points. Teams essentially played defense and settled for the one point so they didn’t go home empty handed.

Yes but before 2015 if you lost in OT you received zero points. Now you receive 1 point for losing.

Maybe I should phrase it better? Starting in 2015, a third point is created when OT begins. You now get one point for overtime losses and shootout losses. So teams heading into OT now receive an average of 1.5 points where before it was an average of 1.0 points.
Put another way, only 9 of 32 NHL teams are currently under .500.

Teams didn’t get a point for overtime losses before 2015, so this record isn’t really applicable before that.

Can’t raise rates too much higher or the US can’t afford the interest payments on the $30 trillion debt.
The federal government takes in $5T per year and spends $6T per year. Imagine being in debt 6 times your annual income and you can’t break even with your budget.

Yeah, I’m not sure Tyler Huntley’s 2 TD and 3 Int season performance was pro bowl worthy.
