An empty-netter is a goal scored in hockey when the opposing team’s net is left unguarded, usually because the goalie has been pulled to add an extra skater for an offensive advantage. The player takes advantage of the open net, often shooting from a distance to score. Empty-net goals typically occur in the final moments of a game when one team is trailing and takes the risk of removing their goalie to try to tie or win the game. Scoring an empty-netter can help seal a victory and is often seen as an easy goal since there is no goalie to block the shot.
