hell if i remember which goalies did it though
This is the right track, Brodeur was the last Devil to touch the puck in a tie game with the Flyers. The Devils took a penalty and an errant pass back from Philly wound up in the back of the net. This is the only gwg by a goalie in NHL history.
With the number of goalies who have actually scored on empty net shots (7 total I believe) to give their team a 2 goal lead, I'm surprised that the trailing team has never scored following such an event to make the empty netter the game wimner.
