Incidental contact. No goal, no penalty.
NHL rulebook
Table 16- interference on goaltenders
1. goalie in goal crease
C. Example: An attacking player makes incidental contact with the goalkeeper at the same time a goal is scored.
Ruling: Goal is disallowed. The official in his judgment may call a minor penalty on the attacking player. The announcement should be, “No goal due to interference with the goalkeeper.”
