No goal.

Rule 69.1:
"If a defending player has been pushed, shoved, or fouled by an
attacking player so as to cause the defending player to come into
contact with his own goalkeeper, such contact shall be deemed
contact initiated by the attacking player for purposes of this rule, and if
necessary a penalty assessed to the attacking player and if a goal is
scored it would be disallowed."

But are you a defending player if you have the puck when you're hit, as per the question? I don't believe you are deemed to be the defending player if you have possession of the puck, and skating with the puck would imply possession.
 
Pretty sure possession doesn't really matter. They'd say the hitter caused the contact that disrupted the goalie and they couldn't do their job.

My assumption is that if the puck is in my defensive zone, I am defending, because we are talking about situations where my goalie is getting scored on.

Your argument makes sense too though. It's super ambiguous, but I guess this almost never happens because it would be insane to skate anywhere near the front of the net with the puck when there are forecheckers. Everyone usually takes the outside.

?? I think it matters 100%. If you have the puck per the OP, you are fair game to be checked by any player on the other team.

If you have the puck and skate in front of your goalie and get checked, and you bump into your own goalie and the puck slides in the net.... I don't see why that wouldn't be a good goal.

It would be a big argument either way.... and we'll likely never see it happen in any NHL game.*

* will probably happen in next Kings game :laugh:
 
My argument to my friend is it would be no goal because I think the goaltender has to be able to defend his goal regardless of the situation, if I skated out in front of my goal with the puck and I was hit but my goaltender was not contacted with and the puck goes in that would be a good goal. I just think that the league is protecting the goalies more than ever now and regardless of the situation they have to be able to defend their goal. Now I could be wrong but that's what I thought.

I think the key part is being checked into the goalie. It's incidental contact created by the checker. You could say goal tender interference.
