No. BUT, goals against average is based on a 60 minute game. So if you pull the goalie, he is playing less than a game and the goals against goes up. Not too much a difference, but a difference. But say you are down 5-3 so pull the goalie with 2 minutes left. G.A. would be 5.17 not 5.

No. If you take Wednesday night's Nashville/Detroit gamesheet from NHL.com, you see that Detroit had 35 shots for the game, but one of them went into the empty net on Kirk Maltby's goal, so in a way, "EMPTY NET" is listed as another goalie on the sheet. Still, as stated in one of the above replies, the goals that did go in on Mason get normalized over 60 minutes when calculating goals against average.
I'm looking for someone to ask whether a shot that hits the post or crossbar is a shot on goal. It's not.

No. How could it? Who is the Goaltender that it should be counted against? He's not there!

It does show up in their stats as ENG (empty net goal), but doesn't figure in the GAA.
