There is also this:
Quote:

(i) In a rebound situation, or where a goalkeeper and offensive player(s) are simultaneously attempting to play a loose puck, whether inside or outside the crease, incidental contact with the goalkeeper will be permitted, and any goal that is scored as a result thereof will be allowed.

The
rule is quite complicated so it often comes down to the judgement of the officials. I think it was a good goal I hope if the Flames score a similar goal it is not called back.
