Does o/u include OT?
Over/under bets include goals scored in OT and shootout goals(one goal awarded to team that wins the shootout)

The 5-minute overtime period was introduced for regular season games beginning with the 1983–84 NHL season, but with teams at full strength on the ice.[14] Overtime in the regular season was reduced to four skaters a side starting in the 2000–2001 season.[14] The "shootout" was introduced for the 2005–06 NHL regular season.[14] Previously, ties during the regular season were allowed to stand if not resolved in overtime. Starting in the 2015-16 season, overtime was reduced to three skaters a side.
I guess in games with a large favorite it is very unlikely the game goes to OT so this would favor the under. Anyone know OT % in hockey?
Edit: looks like about 14%
