What is a power play?
Fouls and penalties · Rule 10.33
A sanctioned player may be excluded for up to two minutes without replacement, giving the opponents a numerical advantage. In qualifying cases, an opposition goal permits the excluded player or teammate to return; this does not apply to an ejection red card.
How it works
A sanctioned player may be excluded for up to two minutes without replacement, giving the opponents a numerical advantage. In qualifying cases, an opposition goal permits the excluded player or teammate to return; this does not apply to an ejection red card. Time-out and breaks suspend the power-play timer.
In a game
The opponents score during a qualifying temporary power play, ending the first exclusion.
Remember
Time-out and breaks suspend the power-play timer.
