Which was wrong. So, who can sub-in? And how much time do they have to get ready? Except when both goalkeepers are incapacitated, no skater in the playing roster in that game shall be permitted to wear the equipment. In the event that the two regular goalkeepers are injured or incapacitated in quick succession, the third goalkeeper shall be provided with a reasonable amount of time to get dressed, in addition to a two-minute warm-up except when he enters the game to defend against a penalty shot.

In some places, there are tryouts. Fortunately in Winnipeg, we have a lot of former college players and the like. Florida general manager Dale Tallon has been through the emergency situation a couple of times in recent years — once with the team on the cusp of putting goaltender coach Robb Tallas into a game, another three years ago where a team account executive was summoned.
Who's not a player? What qualifies all of that? But obviously we want what's best for the game, and we want to make sure people aren't putting themselves in danger by playing goal in a National Hockey League game.
So that's obviously something we have to continue to work through. The NHL Official Rules say, in part, "In regular League and Playoff games, if both listed goalkeepers are incapacitated, that team shall be entitled to dress and play any available goalkeeper who is eligible.
