First goal on an empty net

[HighLifeManIsHigh]

Hey guys, I poked around on the internet, but couldn’t find anything. I was wondering if there’s a list/website that shows how many/which players in NHL history have scored their first goal on an empty net.

Thanks!

I highly doubt there's any resource or compilation specifically for that.

if anything, you'll have to scrape/enumerate it yourself. and i don't know when EN goals started to be officially distinguished/recorded in game scoresheets, so you might only be able to go back so far anyway.

an easy start would be looking at all goaltenders who have scored a goal. as for skaters, i can't recall any off the top of my head who have done it.

I guess I need to work on embedding a table.

The data above is from Hockey Reference so only goes back to 1979.

That’s awesome! Thank you very much!

Anders Hedberg and Behn Wilson did it in 78-79

Okay, was there a non-goalie whose only goal(s) was (were) on an empty net?

Duncan Siemens' only NHL goal was on an empty net: Duncan Siemens Hockey Stats and Profile at hockeydb.com

edit: Jay Leach also

... and J.F. Fortin

(I'm just going through the table above)
