How does the high-stick goal review work?

A puck struck or deflected into the net with a high stick, above the height of the crossbar, is one of the situations the NHL Situation Room reviews.

The deciding factor is where the puck makes contact with the stick in relation to the crossbar. If the puck makes contact with a portion of the stick that is at or below the level of the crossbar, and enters the goal, the goal is allowed, even if some other portion of the stick is above the crossbar.
