Clayton Stoner goal caused by Jakob Silfverberg contact with Corey Crawford (Video)

Clayton Stoner scored a goal for the Ducks. Jakob Silfverberg had the screen. The puck went past Chicago goaltender Corey Crawford. Should have been a simple goal that put Game 6 of the Western Conference Final at 3-2, right? Not really.

Apparently Silfverberg impeded Crawford from making the save with his screen.

And the real-time video:

As rule 69.3 of the NHL rulebook states:

If an attacking player initiates contact with a goalkeeper, incidental or otherwise, while the goalkeeper is in his goal crease, and a goal is scored, the goal will be disallowed.

If a goalkeeper, in the act of establishing his position within his goal crease, initiates contact with an attacking player who is in the goal crease, and this results in an impairment of the goalkeeper’s ability to defend his goal, and a goal is scored, the goal will be disallowed.

Umm, so about that whole goal being disallowed thing after the attacking player initiates contact?
