NHL Commissioner Gary Bettman has made it clear that there are no plans to alter the league's current points system, which has been in place for decades. The system, where teams earn two points for a win and one point for an overtime or shootout loss, has been a staple of the NHL's regular season format. Despite some critics arguing that the system can lead to teams with inferior records making the playoffs, Bettman remains committed to the status quo. The decision is likely to be met with a mix of reactions from fans, coaches, and players, with some potentially calling for a change to a more merit-based system.
