New York Rangers goaltender Igor Shesterkin scored an empty-net goal during Thursday night's game, becoming the 18th goaltender in NHL history to score, according to ESPN.
Goals by goaltenders are a rare feat in the NHL, typically occurring when a goalie shoots the puck into an empty net after the opposing team has pulled its own goaltender for an extra attacker.
Shesterkin's goal contributed to a Rangers victory on the night, adding his name to a short list of netminders who have found the back of the net in league history.
Further details on the final score and other scoring plays from the game were not included in the available source material.
