Thank you to anyone who could post a responce.
Grant Fuhr had 14 assists one season with the Oilers. I'm pretty sure that's
the record. Though that doesn't necessarily mean he was a great puck handler.
All he had to do was give it to Coffey or Gretzky and have a teammate score
with only one (or no) more pass(es).
Ron Hextall has two goals (one regular season, one playoffs) in his
career. I suppose this counts!
I don't know the all-time leading goalie scorer, but I know Gilles Meloche
and Mike Palmateer always seemed to get 3-5 assists per season. Don
McLeod in the WHA had 43 assists in 6 seasons.

I believe the leading goalie goal scorer is Ron Hextall with 2 goals, both
while he was with the Flyers. I also think that he is the only goalie to
score in the NHL! I know he has lots of assists too, but I don't know his
point total.

Billy Smith of the Islanders was the first goalie credited with scoring
a goal in the NHL. He received it because he was the last Islander
to touch the puck before it went into the opposition net. Gerald
Olchowy was in goal for the opponents at the time. But Hextall was
indeed the only goalie who scored directly. Olchowy was in goal for
one of those as well. Fuhr was in goal for the other.
cordially, as always,

Obviously someone doesn't pay attention to the posts.
This was rm's sarcasm.
Tell me Scott, who did Olchowy play for? :)
