My interpretation of that rule (although I absolutely could be wrong) is that if you bat a puck with a high stick and it is going to go into the net then the goal will not count (even if a defender or goalie touches it on the way in) but if it is highsticked but is not going to go into the net but then is hit by an opposing player to change the trajectory of the puck so that it now goes into the net then the goal will count. So last night, the high stick was pushing the puck from above the net to the crease area (would not have gone in the net on its own) but then it bounced of Nurse (or maybe Skinner) and changed direction. So if it was seen to cross the line (thankfully it wasn't) then it would have been a good goal.
Someone please correct me if my thoughts are wrong.

I thought that a change of possession was what would cancel out the high stick. An Oilers player would need to have some level of control over the puck, which was not really possible in that situation. A high stick leading to a deflection that goes in is still not a goal. I don't think there was any way that goal would count.
80.3 Disallowed Goal – When an attacking player causes the puck to
enter the opponent’s goal by contacting the puck above the height of
the crossbar, either directly or deflected off any player or official, the
goal shall not be allowed. The determining factor is where the puck
makes contact with the stick. If the puck makes contact with the stick
at or below the level of the crossbar and enters the goal, this goal
shall be allowed.
A goal scored as a result of a defending player striking the puck
with his stick carried above the height of the crossbar of the goal
frame into his own goal shall be allowed.
