Published on March 24, 2017 under American Hockey League (AHL) News Release
SPRINGFIELD, Mass. ... Bakersfield Condors goaltender Jonas Gustavsson made American Hockey League history on Friday night when he became just the 12th goaltender in the AHL's 81-year history to be credited with scoring a goal.
Gustavsson's shorthanded, empty-net tally capped the scoring in Bakersfield's 5-1 victory over the San Diego Gulls at Rabobank Arena in Bakersfield, Calif.

With San Diego goaltender Dustin Tokarski on the bench for an extra attacker and the Gulls working on a power play, Gustavsson made a save before an errant San Diego pass slid down the length of the ice and into the vacated net at 16:56 of the third period.
Gustavsson is the fifth AHL goaltender to be credited with a goal without actually shooting the puck into the opposition net. In addition to his goal, Gustavsson stopped 30 of 31 shots in the Condors victory.
