In the National Hockey League, a team is awarded a single point in the standings when losing the game in overtime or in a shootout (they receive 0 points if they lose in regulation time) while the winning team is awarded 2 points. This single point is sometimes referred to as the "Leafs' Point" because it is the primary way that the Toronto Maple Leafs accumulate points in the standings due to their low number of regulation wins.
The Red Wings blew a 3 goal lead and lost to Edmonton in overtime, but at least they still picked up the Leafs' point.

1 . A Leaf Point is a point that is awarded for successfully deferring a loss until the expiration of regulation time. The point is awarded regardless of the seriousness of the loss or the inadequacy of the play (see falling leaves) in the overtime period.
2 A Leaf Point is a successful point that is squandered by the losing advocate in the course of advancing an ultimately unsuccessful argument. A Toronto Maple Leaf point is frequently referred to as a faux point.
3 A good point made by an opponent in an argument, a loosing argument but a good point none the less)
4. A point the Toronto Maple Leafs get in "every single last game" that goes into Overtime.
5.A point other teams get in an Overtime or Shootout loss (not as often as the Toronto Maple Leafs however someone else has to lose if the Leafs are not playing
