The NHL has never used a tie-breaking playoff game to settle a tie. Neither has the NBA as far as I can tell (nor its predecessor NBL and BAA). The ABA and WHA did use tie-breaking playoff games on occasion. The NFL (and AFL) also used tie-breaking playoff games in earlier years but they no longer do so.
MLB is the only one which still uses tie-breaking playoff games to settle a tie for a post-season berth.
