Linesmen are primarily responsible for watching for violations involving the center line and the blue line.

Such infractions include icing and offside infractions.

Linesmen conduct faceoffs and are also expected to break-up scuffles, and/or fistfights and other altercations that occur during the game.

Some leagues allow linesmen to call penalties (such as too many players on the ice), while others only allow them to report the infraction to the referee.
