2025 NHL Draft: Top CHL & U.S. NTDP Prospects Set for Epic Showdown

2025 NHL Draft: Top CHL & U.S. NTDP Prospects Set for Epic Showdown

November 26, 2024 Catherine Williams - Chief Editor Sports

In the CHL games, teams earn two points for a win and zero points for a loss, regardless of how the game concludes. If the score is tied after regulation, a five-minute 3-on-3 overtime period will be played. If the game remains tied after overtime, a three-round shootout will occur. If the score is still tied after the first three shooters, the shootout continues in sudden death with different players until one team scores.

If both teams have two points after two games in a series, they will play a 3-on-3, 20-minute period until one team scores to determine the series winner.

The CHL USA Top Prospects Game has replaced the CHL Top Prospects Game. The new format showcases over 40 top draft-eligible players from the CHL in this special match.
