Scoring on a Delayed Penalty while already on the PP

[Filthy Dangles]

As everyone knows, when you score on a delayed penalty in a normal case (not already on the PP), you get the goal and the penalty is then negated, you get no poweplay.

Seems to work different if already on the PP. Last night against the Rangers, Capitals scored with :30 seconds left on a PP, the Rangers took another penalty just before the goal happened. Many were surprised to see the Capitals got another full two minute powerplay to start right after the goal.

Based on how the Delayed Penalty rule works in normal cases, many expected the capitals to just get the ~:30 seconds left on the original PP, not get a fresh two minutes.

Where is this distinction clarified in the rules? I couldn't find anything on a quick scan. And why does it make sense to get another full two minutes instead of the most recent penalty being negated like in cases where you aren't on the PP already.

Huh? Who was surprised ? The first penalty is always terminated with the goal and the new penalty goes in (Unless the first penalty is a major).

No different if someone is sitting for a double minor, if someone scores in the first 2 minutes of it, then the second full 2 minutes starts afterwards.

the goal kills off the first penalty , its the same logic as on a 5 on 3

I was a little surprised but fully aware that I might just not know the rule. My interpretation would've been as well that the delayed penalty would be cancelled out by the goal being scored for the reasons that OP described (although one thing worth noting is that a double minor in such cases would still be administered but only as a minor, and a major penalty still gets major status). I didn't realize that the goal would take care of the existing penalty and that the delayed penalty would still be given in full.

In any case, it's not a common occurrence where that happens.

It's a delayed PP, meaning it wasn't in effect. Seems simple to me...

Scoring on a PP negates the remaining time. Scoring on a delayed penalty negates the penalty. In this case it's essentially a 5 on 3 that hasn't completely started yet. After scoring, the oldest penalty is negated. Here the delayed penalty hasn't started yet so the only one to negate is the one already running.
