Marty Finds The Mark. Brodeur Scores Goal

For the third time in his career, Devils Goalie Martin Brodeur finds the back of the opposing goal. Last night against the Carolina Hurricanes Brodeur scored a goal on the powerplay to get the Devils on the board first in route to a 4-1 win. It was the 3rd goal of his career and 2nd during the regular season. That is the most goals scored by any netminder in the history of the league.

Lets set the scene. New Jersey was on a powerplay early in the 1st period in Carolina. Patrick Dwyer of the Hurricanes was hooked by defenseman Marek Zidlicky as Dwyer broke into the New Jersey zone. With a delayed penalty call in effect, Dwyer fired a shot that was stopped by Brodeur, who deflected the puck to the right corner. Carolina's Jordan Staal gained control and slid a pass back toward defenseman Tim Gleason at the left point, but he missed Gleason, and the puck went off the boards all the way back into the vacant Carolina net to give New Jersey a 1-0 lead at 3:54.

So this got me thinking about how many goalies have scored goals in the NHL. So here is the full list of NHL goalies who have scored goals.
