Wolfsburg’s Dustin Strahlmeier Becomes First Goaltender to Score in DEL History

Officials upheld the empty‑net strike on video review.

Overview

  • The 33-year-old netminder sealed a 4-2 home win over the Dresdner Eislöwen with the final goal on January 25.
  • Dresden had pulled goalie Jussi Olkinuora for an extra attacker when Strahlmeier fired the puck into the vacant net.
  • Defender Simon Karlsson set up the play before Strahlmeier shot the length of the ice to score.
  • Strahlmeier told Magenta Sport he saw space and “just tried it,” noting the worst outcome would have been an icing.
  • He celebrated on the ice with fans and his newborn son as teammates searched for the puck to keep as a memento.
