You can see from the replay that it touches the attacker, THEN goes off the goalkeepers hand, THEN the follow through gets the attackers head.
There’s nothing illegal about what the goaltender did at the point he gets a punch on the ball, and the collision is simply a nearly instantaneous follow through of the legal play. Can’t be a penalty.
Either way, both teams have scored on a rediculous penalty, so it’s balanced now.
