The WHL witnessed NHL draft prospect Xavier Wendt score the league's first goalie goal since 2023 on Wednesday night.

With the Tri-City Americans leading the Swift Current Broncos 3-0, Wendt scored from behind his net after picking up the puck from a soft dump-in.

After cradling the puck, he fired it down the center of the ice, going through all the Broncos who were trying to swat at it. Eventually, the puck made its way to the center of the cage on the opposite side of the ice.

Tri-City Americans goalie Xavier Wendt had a night to remember, recording his first-ever WHL goal less than a minute before his first shutout. He's eligible for the 2026 NHL draft.
