It looks like the player's skate may have contacted the goalie. Which would result in no goal..

@EA_Aljo But in the situation (in the recording) it can be seen that the player controlled the goalkeeper and put him down... Therefore, the player who hit the puck in the goal could not influence this situation and in a real game (NHL) the goal would definitely be valid... So in this case it should be a game bug, don't you agree with that?

  I don't agree. The goalie is in the crease trying to make a save. If a player makes contact, the goal is going to be waived off.

    I think I can see @MaestroDenny 's point here:
    The goalie runs into the player, and the player actually slams the brakes on to avoid the collision but still gets penalized with a no-goal call.
    It would seem that the conditions in place to determine player-goalie contact don't take into consideration the animation choice for the goalie actually being the aggressor of contact.
    From my understanding, if the goalie initiates contact with the player, the goal should still count.
