Most rule infractions result in what ?
There are exceptions to the rule where a team can not replace a player on the ice after a penalty : mutual majors for fighting , where there are two participants in a fight , will result in each person receiving five minutes , but the penalties will not affect the on - ice strength of either team ( play remains five - on - five ) , unless a player is deemed to be the instigator of the fight , in which case that player will receive an additional two - minute minor .
