And just how many NHL goals have been scored by goalies since the NHL existed?

Although the NHL was established in 1917, and attempts at scoring were made, it appears only eleven goals have been scored by NHL goalkeepers, all of which have been recorded since 1979.

• Type of Goals

Out of these eleven recorded goals, six goals were actually scored by the goalkeepers, while the other five were own goals by members of the opposing team. These own goals were credited to keepers for being the last person to touch the puck.

• Nine Keepers

Two of the nine keepers, Martin Brodeur and Ron Hextall, actually managed to score twice. Canadian Martin Brodeur scored once through a shot on goal, while his second credit came from an opponent's own goal.

Both of Canadian Ron Hextall's goals were the result of shots on goal.
