Another player cannot replace him until the power play is over or the other team scores a goal. Basically known as a man advantage. 6 players playing against 5 is a common situation diring a power play but sometime it can be 6 against 4 (counting goaltenders) if a second penalty is called on the same team before the first power play is over. Referred to as a two man advantage.
