Re: How assists are awarded when goalie touches the puck
Rule 33.2
An assist is awarded to the player or players (maximum two) who touches the puck prior to the goal scorer, provided no defender plays or possesses the puck in between.
Assists can be given to deserving players on a goal that has been awarded by the Referee, if the Official Scorer deems that
Rule 78.3
When a player scores a goal, an “assist” shall be credited to the player or players (maximum two) who touch the puck prior to the goal scorer provided no defender plays or has control of the puck subsequently. Each “assist” shall count one point in the player’s record. Only one point can be credited to any one player on a goal.
Slavin lost possession of the puck due to a defender "playing" the puck. Also the Avs goal, the official could have deemed the goalies "play" not enough and awarded the Avs player a point.
