@ESPNRefNHL It’s not the exact same, but it’s the closest I could find that is explicitly called out in the rule book.

[Steve Harris @steveharrisdc]

@ESPNRefNHL The rule says that penalties (minor or major) still get called and served. It doesn’t seem explicit about penalty shots and more like if two penalty shots are called on the same play (24.6) or if a goal is scored on a power play and a delayed penalty shot (15.4) 1/2

[Steve Harris @steveharrisdc]

@FriedgeHNIC @BizNasty2point0 Counter is rule 24.7, which talks about what happens when a foul for a penalty shot takes place during actual playing time, implying that a foul could also take place outside of actually playing time.

[Steve Harris @steveharrisdc]

@FriedgeHNIC @BizNasty2point0 Also, last paragraph of rule 15.4 (too big for me to paste here)

[Steve Harris @steveharrisdc]

@FriedgeHNIC @BizNasty2point0 Rule 24.6 (last paragraph)--if two infractions warranting a penalty shot are called at the same stoppage of play, and the first penalty shot is successful, the second would-be penalty shot is assessed as a minor.

[Steve Harris @steveharrisdc]

@FriedgeHNIC @BizNasty2point0 Looking through the rulebook for other examples (not exactly the same thing, but again, I think the rulebook is ambiguous on what happened):

@ScoutingTheRefs @Chamont24 And thank you for all that you do—this type of situation must excite you like it does to other rules geeks!

[Steve Harris @steveharrisdc]

@ScoutingTheRefs @Chamont24 But the rule doesn’t say that, does it? What was committed was a minor that would be a penalty shot because of the circumstances. Do those circumstances still exist? I don’t know that this is covered in the rules.

And I have no rooting interest—just really interested !

[Steve Harris @steveharrisdc]

@ScoutingTheRefs @Chamont24 Minor or major—but not penalty shot, right?

[Steve Harris @steveharrisdc]

@ScoutingTheRefs My understanding was that the penalty would still be called, but the part of being free and clear would be deemed to have not happened, so it would revert to a minor. I can’t find the rule thought. Also, rule 38.7 here doesn’t seem to be clear about the penalty shot staying.
