Re: Little help
Another potential question, which this answers is the situation in which the GWG is an empty net goal - which could happen if it is scored on a delayed penalty. Even though the goalie isn't on the ice when it scores, he still gets the win.
Here's a real-life example from this past season that's not directly on point but provides some guidance as to how EN goals that turn out t be the GWG are scored -- Bowdoin v St. A:

The winning goal is the empty netter (the 6th goal), which made the score 6-4. St. A came back to score a 5th goal after the EN goal, making the final score 6-5 and the EN goal the GWG. The starting goalie was credited with the loss even though he was not in net for the GWG (the empty netter).
