overtime loss
Extra-period defeat
An overtime loss is a defeat that occurs after regulation time has expired and extra play was required to determine a winner.
Used primarily in hockey and some other sports where standings distinguish between losses in regulation and those requiring overtime: The team went 30-20-8, with eight overtime losses.
In leagues using point systems, an overtime loss typically earns one point rather than zero, softening the penalty for a close game.
