Minnesota Wild goalie Filip Gustavsson became the 15th goalie in NHL history to score a goal last night, joining a list that includes San Jose Sharks legend Evgeni Nabokov.
Gustavsson's goal came on the powerplay against the St. Louis Blues, making him the second-ever goalie to score a powerplay goal. The first to do so was Nabokov.
The Wild goalie is just the 10th goalie to actually shoot the puck into the net, as some own goals are credited to goalies.
Nabby's goal came against the Vancouver Canucks on March 10, 2002. He scored the 7th goal in a Sharks 7-4 win.
