Watch: Gustavsson ‘scores’ shorty in AHL

Jonas Gustavsson, goal scorer.

The veteran netminder got credit for a shorthanded marker late in Friday night's game between his Bakersfield Condors - the Edmonton Oilers' AHL affiliate - and the San Diego Gulls, a farm club of the Anaheim Ducks.

Gustavsson was the last Condor to touch the puck when, with about three minutes left and the Gulls' net empty in the midst of a Bakersfield blowout, San Diego forward Corey Tropp uncorked an errant pass with his team on the power play, and the rest was history.

The 32-year-old became only the 12th goaltender to be credited with a goal in the 81-year history of the AHL,

It was the first goal of Gustavsson's eight-year career.
