Not a big hockey fan, I just look in occasionally at the Blues' standings.

GP is games played
OTL is overtime losses which are worth 1 point (as opposed to a regulation loss which is worth no points in the standings)

GP is Games Played. The season is 82 games long, so you can figure out later in the season how many games the Blues would have left to play.
OTL is Overtime Losses. This used to be the column for "Ties". With the advent of the shootout to decide games that are tied after overtime, all games now have a winner and a loser. If a team is tied at the end of regulation, and loses either in the overtime period or in the shootout, they still earn one point in the standings.

GP - Games Played - The number of games that a particular team has played up to that point in the season.
OTL - Overtime Loss - The number of games that a particular team took an opponent into overtime, but failed to win.

Games Played
OTL is Over time losses. If they also list SOL that is Shoot out Losses. Both are worth 1 point in the standings so some drop the SOL.
