empty-netter
Score, goalie pulled
An empty-netter is a goal scored in hockey when the opposing team has pulled their goaltender, leaving the net unguarded.
Teams pull their goalie in desperation, typically when trailing late in a game, to add an extra skater.
The resulting goal is easy but still counts: He sealed the win with an empty-netter.
