Two IIHF Playing Rules were considered in this instance: -According to IIHF Playing Rule 186 v. Goaltender and Goal/Goal Crease Disallowed: [I]An attacking skater who makes contact [B]other than incidental[/B] with a goaltender who is out of his goal crease during game action will be assessed a minor penalty for interference. [B]If a goal is scored at this time, it will not count.[/B][/I] -According to IIHF Playing Rule 183 ii. Protection of a Goaltender:[I] [B]Incidental[/B] contact is allowed when the goaltender is in the act of playing the puck outside his goal crease, [B]provided the attacking skater makes a reasonable effort to minimize or avoid such contact[/B].[/I] " [/QUOTE]
