In the NHL, penalties are classified into various categories, including minor penalties (two minutes), major penalties (five minutes), misconduct penalties (ten minutes), and game misconducts. Minor penalties usually result from less severe infractions like tripping or hooking, while major penalties are for more serious offenses such as fighting. Misconduct penalties do not necessarily involve a specific infraction but are issued for unsportsmanlike behavior. The cumulative effect of these penalties can lead to power plays for the opposing team, significantly impacting the game's outcome.
