You could usesedto remove the dots. However,service name statusis a script that tells you if a service is running or not. Not sure why you would need something else.

You could use the awk's gsub command:
$ service ntpd status | awk '{gsub(/[.]/,"");print $NF}'
running
Using NF since the status word is usually the last word of the output.
The command service is the old way to check services (for systems not using systemctl yet). With systemd use:
systemctl is-active sshd >/dev/null 2>&1 && echo YES || echo NO

If you insist on sed:
service ntpd status | sed 's/^.* |.*$//g'
running
