If the puck was last touched by a defending player before it entered the cage, the goal is allowed regardless of the manner in which the puck was caused to enter the cage, except that if an attacking player propels the puck other than with his stick, or illegally with his stick and it bounds or deflects off the person or equipment to the goalkeeper or any other defensive player, the goal shall not be allowed. ... If the puck is deflected into the goal from the shot of an attacking player by striking any part of the person of a player of the same side, the goal shall be allowed.
