Then when the puck goes in it will not count because according to the rule book no goal shall count if there is a delayed penalty and the puck entered the net from any reason other than the defending team touching it last. Since Detroit would have touched it last the goal shouldn't have counted.
The problem with this play is that even with the review they are thinking of implementing I'm pretty sure they don't want to use review to give penalties after the fact. If the ref doesn't call a penalty on the play during the play, there is nothing explicitly illegal about the way the puck entered the net.

This, because then question becomes how far back do you go before the goal was scored to see if the was a penalty before the puck crossed the line
