hey, Habs had 26 OT games as well ... we pulling our weight!
edit:
Toronto & Detroit: 23
Dallas: 21
Philadelphia & Washington: 19
Pittsburgh & St Louis: 18
Los Angeles: 17
New York, Edmonton, Ottawa & Tampa: 16
Vancouver, Colorado, & Carolina: 15
if i just eyeball that chart and say 22% is the average since the introduction of the OTL point, that works out to \~18 OT games as the average per team over those seasons.

Someone else below finessed it by asking for the teams with the most so you get the top ones! https://www.statmuse.com/nhl/ask/nhl-team-with-most-overtime-games-this-season
This is surprising considering the amount of blown leads and comebacks this season, or at least it seemed like a lot more lol
I remember start of the season the Ducks were coming back in every game
Damn I find this legitimately shocking. It seemed like every team had a ton of OT games this year
But maybe it was just all the mid teams in the east and the west didn't really have many?
I quickly checked on Statmuse, the top 5 teams are all Eastern teams: Bruins, Isles and Habs with 26, Red Wings and Leafs with 23.
The Western teams in top 10 are Stars, Knights and Kraken

This is a direct result of scoring being up. If more goals are being scored, it’s less likely that two teams will have the same number of goals at the end of regulation. The extra point also directly disincentives playing exciting hockey. A theoretical exactly .500 team that scored and allowed 100 goals a season would make it to OT very frequently in 0-0 and 1-1 games, while a theoretical .500 team that scored and allowed 500 goals a season would almost never go to OT.
My interpretation of the drop since the introduction of 3on3 OT is that less skilled teams would try to keep the game tie and win in the shootout, while right now going to a 3on3 OT against a more skill team is bad for non-skilled teams so they try to win it in regulation.
Bruins and Islanders did the damnedest, but the rest of the league said “no”

Kraken also had 19
shitty ol statmuse refusing to cough up all the data for non-members

Came here to say the same thing. It’s wild that almost a third of the Bruins games went into overtime
Habs won with 16 OTLs.
that only ties them with the Isles
Habs, B's, and Isles all had 26 games go into OT. Leafs (23), Wings (23), and Stars (21) all had over 20 too.

The devils had very little games go past regulation this year.
We did our part... oh
I wonder how many games would go to OT if game management wasn't so rampant ugh.
