Great to win a conference game that wasnt a conference game but might be one at a later date. Did I get that right?

Yes you did. It all depends on whether UConn and UMass play again later in the season. With a set up like that, it is going to be for the Hockey East standings to show anything of value in the early part of the season, as league results could be altered if opponents play each other later in the season again.

For CONFERENCE games:

Three points will be awarded to any team that wins a game in regulation. One point will awarded to each team in a game that remains tied at the conclusion of regulation. One additional point will be awarded to the team who wins the 3-on-3 overtime or shootout, giving that team two points total. A team that loses in regulation will receive zero points, while a team that loses in overtime or the shootout will receive one point.

So if the weekend's games are ultimately deemed conference games, UMass will receive four points (a win in regulation plus a shootout loss), UConn two (a loss in regulation plus a shootout win).
