1. In the two-referee system, no player can be penalized by both referees for the same infraction, but the same player can be penalized by both referees for two distinct infractions.

2. Upon being penalized, a skater must proceed directly to the penalty box or dressing room unless instructed otherwise by an on-ice official. Failure to do so will result in an additional bench-minor penalty.

3. If one team is assessed more than one penalty of the same duration which affects on-ice manpower, the captain must inform the referee of the order the penalties are to be served in case further penalties result in one penalized skater being allowed to leave the penalty box before others.

4. A skater must go to his dressing room if he is assessed a misconduct penalty in the third period which would prevent him from participating in the overtime and penalty-shot shootout.

5. If a team being penalized is in possession of the puck, game action will be stopped immediately. If the opposing team is in possession of the puck, game action will continue until the penalized team gains control of the puck.
