So I just looked it up, and as I suspected there is nothing in the NHL rulebook about reverting to the call on the ice if a replay is inconclusive. In fact, there's nothing there about inconclusive replays at all.
My interpretation is that there's no way off the hook for a video goal judge. He has to make a call based on what he can see. He doesn't get to hand the decision back to the on-ice officials.
