After looking it up, now 14 goals have been scored by goalies, and 7 of them were because a team put it into their own net, and the goalie was the last one to touch the puck.
Billy Smith was the 1st goalie credited with scoring a goal (Rogie Vachon was originally credited with scoring a goal in 1977, but it was later changed). Hextall was the 1st to actually shoot the puck into the net.
