A NHL team is required to dress a minimum of 20 players, usually consisting of 12 fowards, 6 defensemen, and 2 goalies for a game.
However during playoff games coaches some times elect to dress 10-11 Forwards and 7-8 defensemen for added depth at the D. You can dress 3 goalies and one less F or D but it is rare to see 3 goalies suited up for a regular season/non-playoff game.

A professional hockey team can have up to 23 players on its active roster, but only 20 players can dress for a game. The remaining 3 are considered healthy scratches. Most teams will usually dress 4 lines of forwards (12 players), 3 pairs of defensemen (6 players), and two goalies.
usually 4 lines of 3 players 3 defence pairs and 2 goalies dress so usually 20 players dress and you can have up to 23 on your roster
