<P> In ice hockey , a team is said to be on a power play when at least one opposing player is serving a penalty , and the team has a numerical advantage on the ice ( whenever both teams have the same number of players on the ice , there is no power play ) . Up to two players per side may serve in the penalty box , giving a team up to a possible 5 - on - 3 power play . If a goaltender commits a foul , another player who was on the ice at the time of the penalty serves . </P>
