The NHL and CHL have a player movement agreement which states that once the NHL season begins, if a player has been returned to his CHL club, he can't be called-up to the NHL until his CHL team's season is over.

As we found out last year, if the NHL team currently has a minimum of 3 roster players on injury recall from the AHL, they can perform an emergency call-up from the CHL, but the player must be returned to the CHL once the emergency situation is resolved.

We have no reason to assume that those rules would be any different just because it's a goalie injury.
