Actually Hextall was the first goalie ever to shoot for a goal...Billy Smith was the first NHL goalie ever credited with a goal:

Quote:
November 28, 1979: While playing the Colorado Rockies in Denver, an errant pass by Rockies defenseman Rob Ramage went down the length of the ice and into his own net. The puck had deflected off of Smith's chest and into the corner where Ramage had scooped it up. It was indeed a delayed penalty situation early in the third period. This made Smith the first goalie to be credited with a goal. It was originally given to Islanders defenseman Dave Lewis but it wasn't until the tape was reviewed after the game that it was determined that Billy Smith was actually the last Islander to touch the puck. New York still lost 7-4.
I was shocked to hear Billy wasn't the career penalty minutes leader too.

I guess things like this helped out Ron:
