Marginal contact, from the defenseman, who was battling for position, then the goalie still had plenty of time to recover.
It was Hellebuyck's own fault that he was that far out of position.

The ever so slight contact came on the first shot to which he was in position to stop. After that he loses track of the puck and is way out of position to stop the goal. That minimal contact really had no bearing on the goal but it's the same issue with the CFL pass interference where it's totally worth it for coaches to throw the hail Mary challenge. I thought the reason for the challenge was to ensure that goals were taken away when goaltenders had no chance to make a save because of interference? Not to take goals off the score sheet for technicalities that didn't have a bearing on the play with the goaltender putting himself out of position.
