NHL Rules Question (Sabres-Flyers)

[mblax10]

Watching the Sabres-Flyers game. Sabres are killing a penalty and Ryan Miller loses his stick behind the net. Daniel Briere skates over picks up the goalie stick and hands it to Miller right in front of the ref. Is this not a penalty? I know in college only the goalie can pick up the goalie stick (saw penalties called twice). I always thought it was a universal rule for all levels of hockey that only the goalie is allowed to handle the goalie stick.
