What does the phrase OTL in hockey stand for?

Thanks assassin. I had a feeling about that but I wasn't quite sure.

Double A, but do you know the meaning of OTL and why they put it up? The reason why it's there, just incase you don't know is because a team is still credited with 1 point if they happen to lose in OT.. That is why they put it up there in the standings...

Thank you for your detailed explanation. Sometimes I'm afraid to ask a "stupid" question cause you guys might laugh at me. you made me feel better.
