1997 NHL Rulebook - Penalties
Rule 27. Minor Penalties
NOTE:"Short-handed" means that the team must be below the numerical strength of its opponents on the ice at the time
the goal is scored. The minor or bench minor penalty which terminates automatically is the one which causes the team
scored against to be "short-handed". Thus coincident minor penalties to both teams do NOT cause either side to be
"short-handed".
This rule shall also apply when a goal is scored on a penalty shot, or when an awarded goal is given.
When the minor penalties of two players of the same team terminate at the same time, the Captain of that team shall
designate to the Referee which of such players will return to the ice first and the Referee will instruct the Penalty
Timekeeper accordingly.
When a player receives a major penalty and a minor penalty at the same time, the major penalty shall be served first by
the penalized player, except under Rule 28(c) in which case the minor penalty will be recorded and served first.
NOTE: This applies to the case where BOTH penalties are imposed on the SAME player. See also Note to Rule 33.
