Twelve goaltenders have scored a total of fifteen goals in National Hockey League (NHL) games. A goalkeeper can score by either shooting the puck into the net, or being awarded the goal as the last player on his team to touch the puck when an opponent scored an own goal. A goal scored by shooting the puck is particularly challenging as the goaltender has to aim for a six-foot-wide net that is close to 180 feet (55 metres) away, while avoiding opposing defencemen; in the case of own goals, the combined circumstance of the own goal itself in addition to the goaltender being the last player to touch the puck makes it a very rare occurrence. Of the fifteen goals, eight were scored by shooting the puck and seven were the result of own goals.

  • Twelve goaltenders have scored a total of fifteen goals in National Hockey League (NHL) games. A goalkeeper can score by either shooting the puck into the net, or being awarded the goal as the last player on his team to touch the puck when an opponent scored an own goal. A goal scored by shooting the puck is particularly challenging as the goaltender has to aim for a six-foot-wide net that is close to 180 feet (55 metres) away, while avoiding opposing defencemen; in the case of own goals, the combined circumstance of the own goal itself in addition to the goaltender being the last player to touch the puck makes it a very rare occurrence. Of the fifteen goals, eight were scored by shooting the puck and seven were the result of own goals. Goaltenders have participated in the offence, albeit in a limited way, since the earliest days of the sport. Before the creation of the NHL in 1917, there were some instances recorded of goaltenders rushing down the ice to participate in the play, occasionally scoring a goal. This practice fell out of favour with goalies and coaches as goaltending training and equipment became more specialized, greatly reducing the goalie's ability to effectively participate in offensive play, and was eventually outlawed (goalies are not allowed to cross the centre red line to play the puck) after the Toronto Maple Leafs' Gary Smith was injured on such a rush in the 1966–67 NHL season. During the history of the league, there had been some near-misses by goaltenders, including attempts by Chuck Rayner by aiming at the empty net, or joining the attack. In 1977, Rogatien Vachon briefly became the first goaltender to score a goal after being credited following an own goal by the opponent, before it was given instead to a teammate by later video review. Billy Smith of the New York Islanders became the first goaltender to score an NHL goal on November 28, 1979, when he was given credit following an own goal by the Colorado Rockies. Ron Hextall of the Philadelphia Flyers became the second goalkeeper to score, and the first to score by taking a shot. Martin Brodeur has scored the most NHL goals by a goaltender, with two in the regular season and one in the playoffs. The most recent goal credited to a goaltender was awarded to Pekka Rinne of the Nashville Predators on January 9, 2020, scored via a shot on goal. (en)
  • On compte, à ce jour, douze gardiens de but ayant marqué un but en Ligue nationale de hockey. Le poste de gardien de but, en hockey sur glace, oblige le joueur à rester à proximité des cages et à rester en deçà de la ligne centrale de la patinoire. Il est donc à priori impossible que celui-ci puisse marquer un but en condition normale de jeu, sauf si les cages adverses sont vides. Ainsi, les seuls buts marqués par des gardiens dans l'histoire de la Ligue nationale de hockey l'ont été, sans exception, lorsque le gardien des buts adverses était absent des cages. L'exploit dépend également de la trajectoire du tir : celui-ci, qui s'effectue à l'autre extrémité de la patinoire, doit être suffisamment puissant et hors d'atteinte des défenseurs. (fr)
