As I understand it, the crossbar cameras are only available to the league for review purposes, but the league will make the video available to the broadcasters when it is used during the review.
During the Buffalo game, Sportsnet did eventually show a replay from the crossbar camera, but the goalie's pad completely blocked the view of the puck, so it wasn't useful.
The cameras marked as 3, 4, and 6 aren't in the goal during the Buffalo game. I think those are only used during the high-profile HNIC games and likely the national ESPN and TNT broadcasts.
