In the history of the NHL or semi-pro hockey, has there ever been a player who played both goal and another position?

I dont think there was a player who changed the positions regularly but here are some who had to play goalie cause he went down injured or was in the penalty box:

Lester Patrick had to play goal when he was a coach cause his goalie went down injured.
King Clancy in one game played all positions.
Odie Cleghorn in 1925/26 played the G position despite being an attacker.
Normie Himes in 1927/28.
Charlie Conacher for 9 minutes also played a G.
Red Horner and Alex Levinsky for Toronto in 1932/33. Their GAA is 60 as they got 1 goal in one minute.
Albert LeDuc in 1931/32 for Montreal.
John Plaxton, Montreal Maroons in 1932/33.
Harold Starr in 1931/32 for the Montreal Maroons.
Al Shields, New York Americans in 1931/32.
Douglas Young, Detroit 1933/34.
Roger Jenkins in 1938/39 for the New York Americans.
Charlie Sands, Montreal Canadiens in 1939/40.
Andy Brannigan, New York Americans in 1940/41.
