The total win/loss tally on that chart is 1221-919, where do the 302 wins with no loss come from?

OT, or Overtime losses. In the regular season, hockey has three 20 minute periods, then a 5 minute overtime period, and finally a shootout. The winning team gets a W no matter when the win happens, but the losing team gets an L if they lose in regulation and an OT point if they lose in the overtime or shootout. Wins are worth 2 points and OT points are worth 1.

Ahh ok. When I didn't see him at the goal I started looking down the ice to see if he was down there because I figured that he was the extra attacker but I guess it makes more sense to have a dedicated player that's actually purposed for the task rather than someone in all that clunky gear. I'm sure it's happened at least once but has a goalie ever scored a goal?

It's worth mentioning that it is actually a penalty for the goalie to skate with the puck past center ice. Hall of Fame goaltender turned coach Patrick Roy got busted for not knowing that once: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=429QFwN8Yy4

Who was that bad motherfucker that was allowed to play without a helmet when they introduced them, he got grandfathered into the old rules or whatever. That dude was a baller.
