In hockey, a power play occurs when one team has a numerical advantage due to an opposing player receiving a penalty. The power play lasts for two minutes if the penalized player is given a minor penalty, but it can be shorter if a goal is scored during that time. In the case of a major penalty, the power play lasts for five minutes, regardless of goals scored. If the penalty is assessed for a longer duration, such as a misconduct penalty, the power play lasts for the length of that penalty.
