The player goes to the penalty box, a substitute takes his place on the ice, and his penalty time does not begin until one of the other penalties expires. This is the Delayed Penalty rule (rule 32). The penalized player must go to the penalty box immediately, but since a team cannot have its on-ice numerical strength reduced by more than two, another player can take the ice. Even though the player is in the box, his time does not begin until one of the other penalties expires. At that time, the third penalty time begins and the player who's time has expired has to wait until a stoppage of play before leaving the penalty box (otherwise a "too many men on the ice" situation would occur).

7 minutes. If a player receives a 10 minute misconduct, then his team is not shorthanded for any of that 10 minutes. However, a team is shorthanded for 2 and 5 minute penalties. The penalties are served one after the other, and so barring any goals, the offender's team would be short-handed for 7 minutes.
in their defensive zone, provided he doesn't throw the puck.. Throwing the puck is a delay of game penalty. A player can bat the puck to a teammate in his own zone if he wants to, but it results in a whistle and faceoff should he try it anywhere else.
