If a team ( NHL ) is 2 men short ( 2 separate penalties on the same play ) and they are scored upon does one player or both return?

Answer 1

In the NHL, if a team is two men short due to separate penalties and they are scored upon, only the player whose penalty was assessed first will return to the ice. The player who received the second penalty will remain in the penalty box until their time expires. This is because the goal scored during a 5-on-3 situation only affects the first penalty.
