A team with a delayed penalty can not score a goal, since as soon as they touch the puck, the play is blown dead. This is why the non-offending team will often pull their goalie when the ref signals a delayed penalty on a team. The only time a goal can be credited to the offending team on a delayed penalty is if the non-offending team puts the puck in their own net. And that doesn't answer the original riddle anyway, since the riddle stated that there were 2 seconds left in the penalty, meaning that is was being served at the time. Seems to me like a goalkeeper penalty situation, since a goalkeeper does not serve his/her minor penalties.
