The first NHL goalie credited with scoring a goal is Billy Smith in 1979. The first goalie to score a goal without it being touched by an opposing player was Ron Hextall in 1987.

Hextall was the first to actually score a goal. There were 2 credited before that, Billy Smith of the Islanders and I forget who the other was. I believe Smith was first, though.

Billy Smith, November 28, 1979 - he was the first NHL goalie to score a goal. As for the first in Professional Hockey On February 21, 1971, the Oklahoma City Blazers were trailing the Kansas City Blues 2-1 and decided to pull their goaltender. Michel Plasse scored on the open net and became the first professional goalie in the history of the game to score a goal.

- the NHL does not, nor do any of the minor professional leagues in North America, use the USHA rule book.

Billy Smith (New York Islanders) Some player scored on his own net and Billy Smith was the last person to touch the puck so they credit him with it.

It was Rogie Vachon, long before Billy Smith. You did say "credited".
