Rules/Penalty box question.

Here is the situation:

Number 11 on team a cross checks #3 on team b.

Number 11 on team a gets in a fight with #3 on team b.

Number 11 has 7 minutes in penalties. Does he sit in the box for 7 straight minutes? Or does #1 from team a sit for the cross check penalty while #11 only sits for the 5?

If memory serves, Number 11 will sit for 7 while a player on his team serves the 2 minutes that his team will be short.

Number 1 is the one in the dog house that the coach picks to serve the 2 if that is how it works. :P

Correct

And he doesn't get out early, no matter what.

the way i've always seen it go down is this way: #11 and #3 would be kicked out, and one player from each team would have to serve those guys' 5 min fighting majors (offsetting penalties). a second player would serve #11's initial minor penalty to give the opposing team a power play, then come out to make it even strength when it expires. the two guys serving the fighting major would sit in the box until the first whistle after the major penalty expires. if the players dont get the boot, an extra player would sit for the 2 min PK.

I was just going by the minutes, never noticed that it was due to a fight.

Does the player serving the 2 get out early if the other team scores on the resulting PP? I think he does.

Yes
