Islanders' Ilya Sorokin Becomes 17th NHL Goalie in History to Score a Goal

Sorokin was credited with the goal after a misplayed pass by Nashville's Steven Stamkos led to an empty-net score in the Islanders' 7-4 victory.

Ilya Sorokin is the second goaltender in New York Islanders history to be credited with a goal, joining Billy Smith who achieved the feat in 1979.
The goal occurred late in the third period of the Islanders' game against the Nashville Predators, who had pulled their goalie for an extra attacker.
Nashville's Steven Stamkos misfired a pass that traveled the length of the ice into his own empty net, with Sorokin being the last Islander to touch the puck.
This marks the first time in NHL history that multiple goalies have scored in the same season, with Sorokin following Pittsburgh's Alex Nedeljkovic and Minnesota's Filip Gustavsson earlier this season.
Sorokin, who has a .905 save percentage this season, joked about the unusual nature of the goal and credited luck for the milestone moment.
