How an All-NHL 3-on-3 tournament would function

For the past couple of seasons, the NHL has instituted a 3-on-3 overtime in the regular season and also a 3-on-3 tournament during the all-star weekend. On the video game NHL 2018, they put a 3-on-3 mode on there which looked pretty impressive.

What if the NHL decided one day to have all 31 teams participate in a 3-on-3 tournament? Each team should have two goalies, six forwards, and three defenseman. Each game would last around 20 minutes. If there is a tie after 20 minutes, then there should be a two minute overtime. If it is still tied after overtime, then the game would be decided in a shootout.
