@Dtown: In detail, the opposing team takes their goalie out, usually when behind one goal late in the game, to be replaced by a 6th attacker. Under exceedingly rare circumstances, the defending goalie, attempting to clear the puck from their own end, actually manage to score in the opposite net.
There is a second possible circumstance, but I don't know if it has ever happened. If a goalie touches an iced puck, icing is called and the face-off return to the other end. If the other team somehow manage to score on their own goal before anyone else from the team of the goalie that touched the puck, then credit is given to the last person who touched the puck. Conceivably, they may not even be on the ice at the time. |
