BREAKING: We Have Our First Goalie Goal of the Season

That's right, we officially have our first goalie goal of the 2023-24 season!

In quite possibly the most unusual fashion, a goalie goal was recorded in the AHL tonight. Strauss Mann, the goaltender for the Canadiens affiliate, the Laval Rocket, has been credited with his first career goal.

After pulling their own goalie to get an extra attacker on the ice, the Rochester Americans threw the puck all the way back into their own net by accident. Seeing as Mann was the last player on Laval to touch the puck before it went into the net, he was credited with the goal, marking a huge milestone for him.

Congrats to Strauss and Laval!
