You've got the right idea; if Koenig was in for exactly twenty minutes
and gave up two goals, his GAA for that game is six.  Someone last year
pointed out an instance where a new goalie was put into his first game, gave
up a goal after twelve seconds, and was pulled; his GAA was 180.
 
After a full season of GAA under 2.00, it's not terribly likely that one
stretch of twenty minutes with a GAA of 6 will bring Koenig above 2.00,
but you can confirm that when his final stats are released.

The game would go into a 5-minute, sudden death overtime.  RPI would not
win the series based on a win one night and a 60-minute tie the next
because according to ECAC rules, a tie game after 60 minutes is not a
complete game, and therefore RPI would not earn a point for it.  If the
game were a tie at the end of the 5-minute overtime, RPI would win the
series with three points.
