Short-handed is a term used in ice hockey and several related sports, including water polo, and refers to having fewer players on the ice during play, as a result of a penalty. The penalized team is said to be on the penalty kill, abbreviated as "PK", and the opposing team is on a power play, with an "advantage" until the penalized player returns to play.
