In the second period of the final game, UNH had three men in the penalty
box. When the first penalty expired, Darran Haydar jumped on the ice and
started to his bench. But a clearing pass intercepted him, so he picked
it up, skated in alone on Maine goalie, Alfie Michaud, and scored.
 
My question: was he eligible to rejoin the play? Since college hockey
requires no less than three skaters on the ice, and UNH still had two
penalties on the clock, we assumed that UMaine would maintain the 5-3
advantage until the second penalty expired.
 
Help!
