Eleven different NHL netminders have combined to score fourteen total goals in league history, some by shooting directly at an empty net, and some by getting credited with a tally on some sort of funky play. It’s an incredibly rare feat, but Minnesota’s own Alex Stalock came inches from registering his first goal last night, which would have also been the first marker ever by a Wild netminder.
With a two goal lead and Eddie Lack a few feet from the Devils bench at the other end of the ice, Stalock took a few steps out of his net and picked up a loose puck.
