A team typically dresses 6 defensemen in a game, and they are on the ice two at a time in pairs. A team carries 23 total players on its roster but can only dress 20 in a game (including 2 goaltenders), to most teams have a total of 7 or 8 defensemen on the active roster, but normally just 6 in the lineup any given night.
