In fact, since the point of a misconduct is to remove the offending
player from the ice without otherwise penalizing his team, it would be
pretty silly to have someone else sit one.  (I think goalies also have
to sit five-minute majors.)
 
This came up when Jay Stevens ended his career at Utah in the penalty
box after receiving a misconduct arguing for an icing call on a BYU
goal.  Funny thing was, he won the argument:  the goal was disallowed,
but a la George Brett in the pine tar game, he still had to sit the
misconduct.
