Second step

A goal is scored when the puck pass wholly transversely the red line decorated between the goal posts and below the crossbar. A goal may be excluded under the following circumstances: the scoring players takes a punishment (except if the other team accidentally puts the puck into its own net untouched by the team to be penalized);the puck is bound for in by an attacker high stick (above the crossbar), or when the puck has been directed, batted, thrown or kicked into the net by an offensive player other than with a stick (angling one's skate so the puck deflects off it into the goal is allowed)goaltender interference (which can also result in a penalty)The puck goes in after the Referee intends to stop play (e.g. the net has been dislodged)The puck deflects off a referee or linesman and goes unswerving into the goal (exception to the rule that a puck hitting a adjudicator or a linesman is still live)a goal was allowed at the other end (this can happen if a video review clarifies a goal scored prior, as happen in a game on November 15, 2010 between the Los Angeles Kings and San Jose Sharks)If a linesman reports to the referee (a) a double-minor for high-sticking, (b) a major punishment, or (c) a match penalty against the scoring team. When a regular-season sport is tied at the end of regulation, it goes into a 3-on-3, five-minute overtime period after a one-minute rest period with teams reversing the violent route. If a goal is scored through this period, the game ends and the team that scored the goal win the game. If there is no scoring in the five-minute overtime, the game goes into a three-round shootout with the home team given the preference of shooting or defending first.
