The job of an NHL goaltender is to save goals. But every now and then, they score some too.
In October 2024, Minnesota Wild goalie Filip Gustavsson became the latest member of this prestigious club. During the final seconds of the Wild’s win against the St. Louis Blues, Gustavsson fired the puck the length of the ice into an empty net.
Gustavsson is one of over a dozen goaltenders who have helped their own cause by scoring. Here are the goalies who have scored goals throughout NHL history.
