NHL Rule Section 10 84.2
I was looking at the OOT thread for 2/18 the other day, and late in the thread, there was a discussion about the net being ajar and pulling one's goalie.
Well, I thought about it, and the risk is VERY high, if for whatever reason, the net gets settled back on the peg. Because with a pulled goalie, NHL Rules, section 10 84.2 might apply.
84.2 Overtime – Regular-season – Extra Attacker - A team shall be allowed to pull its goalkeeper in favor of an additional skater in the overtime period. However, should that team lose the game during the time in which the goalkeeper has been removed, it would forfeit the automatic point gained in the tie at the end of regulation play, except if the goalkeeper has been removed at the call of a delayed penalty against the other team.
