Answer: A player entering the game intentionally plays the puck or makes physical contact with an opposing player before the player leaving the game has left the ice
Rule 2.5 Change of Players. A player entering the game intentionally plays the puck or makes physical contact with an opposing player before the player leaving the game has left the ice. A Bench Minor penalty shall be assessed to the player committing the infraction. Rule 2.5 (e) Note 1.
A player entering the game is accidentally hit by the puck before the player leaving the game leaves the ice. No penalty.
A player with one or both skates still on the bench intentionally plays the puck. Assess a Minor penalty for "ineligible player" or "delay of game". This is because that player is not on the ice and therefore not part of the game.
The goaltender is being pulled and the extra attacker steps onto the ice before the goaltender is within 10ft. of the bench. No penalty. Call a premature substitution. Rule 2.5 (b) Note 3.

Answer: Win - 2 points; Loss - 0 points; Loss in overtime - 1 point; Loss in shootout - 1 point
A win is worth 2 points, while any loss after regulation time is worth a single point; losing in regulation time is worth no points. For example, if a team wins in regulation time, the winning team gets 2 points while the losing team gets no points. If a game is won in overtime or during a shootout, the winning team gets the standard 2 points for the win, while the losing team gets one point for losing after regulation time. As of the new post-lockout NHL, there are no more ties, in which each team received a single point. Now, all games will have a victor.
