just to take away all doughts, i have played 3rd games on sunday's already, and (as Lawrence mentioned) they do count for training minutes...
but unless you are 100% sure you can beat your opponent, i'd advise to try and finish it in 2 games... cause if one of your starters, who you would set as back up in game 2, gets injured, then you might suddenly find yourself in trouble... especially if it's your star player... you don't want to lose a PO serie's cause your star player gets injured in game 2, and that without him, the opponent proves to be strong in game 3 (injuries are never welcome, but during PO's, they really can change the whole outcome... theirfor, i preer to finish it in 2 games whenever i can)
this was just to tell you that playing a 3rd game involves certain risks, but the advantages are that you can get extra stadium income and extra training minutes.
but to answer the original question: the minutes do count for training.
