Re: How assists are awarded when goalie touches the puck
I won't lie, your post is a little hard to understand. If I am reading it correctly, the goalie pokechecked the puck into an oncoming player who scored a goal. You are asking if the player who shot the puck towards the goalie should get an assist? Am I correct in assuming this?
If I am correct in my assumption of your post, I believe the scoring team has to have possession of the puck before the puck goes in to get awarded an assist. If it's a poke check from an opposing goalie, and then the puck goes in, I am not sure you can consider the team to have possession at that time so no assist is awarded.
