Ilya Sorokin scored a goal on March 1 against the Nashville Predators, becoming the 17th goalie in NHL history to do so. He did not need to shoot; the goal came from a misplaced pass by Steven Stamkos. After this accomplishment, Sorokin humorously teased his friend Igor Shesterkin and other teammates. He joked about his point total compared to Matt Martin, who later tied with Sorokin's total, and Hudson Fasching, who scored twice in late season games to surpass Sorokin's goals.
Ilya Sorokin became the 17th goalie in the history of the NHL to score a goal on March 1 against the Nashville Predators after an errant pass trickled into the empty net.
Following his goal, Sorokin joked about achieving this feat before his friend Igor Shesterkin and playfully teased teammates like Matt Martin regarding their point totals.
Martin ultimately matched Sorokin's goal total by scoring his second about a month later, indicating friendly competition among teammates.
Hudson Fasching scored two goals in the final month of the season just to ensure he finished with more goals than Sorokin.
