Rule 72, Situation 13:  Team "A" is in Team "B's" end zone.  A player from Team "B" shoots the puck over his defending blue line into the neutral zone.  The puck then deflects off another player from Team "B" in the neutral zone and bounces back into Team "B's" end zone.  Team "A" still has players in Team "B's" end zone.  
 
Is this a delayed off-side call or is it on-side?
  
A defending player shoots the puck out over his defending blue line.  It then deflects off another defending player back into his defending zone while an attacking player is in that zone.  DELAYED OFF-SIDE.
  
COMMENTARY

In this case one must remember that the puck was merely deflected off the defending player. If the puck was controlled by the defending player in the neutral zone and then carried back inside his end zone, the play would not have been called off-side.
