What is a "shootout"?
A shootout is a tiebreaker method used in hockey to determine the winner of a game if the score is tied after regulation and overtime. In a shootout, each team selects a player to take a one-on-one shot against the opposing goalie. The team that scores more goals out of a set number of attempts wins the shootout and the game. Each player has a chance to make a move and try to score, while the goalie tries to stop the shot. If the score is still tied after the initial attempts, the shootout continues with new players until a winner is decided.
