List of goalscoring NHL goaltenders

Seventeen goaltenders have scored a total of twenty goals in National Hockey League (NHL) games. Such goals are often called a "goalie goal." 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 6-foot-wide (1.8-metre) net that is close to 180 feet (55 metres) away while avoiding opposing defensemen; 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 an infrequent occurrence. Of the twenty goals, twelve were scored by shooting the puck and eight were the result of own goals.

Goaltenders have participated in the offense, albeit in a limited way, since the sport's earliest days. 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 goaltenders and coaches as goaltending training and equipment became more specialized, greatly reducing the goaltender's ability to participate in offensive play effectively, and was eventually outlawed (goaltenders 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.
