A rare occurrence, but it did take place during a Kontinental Hockey League game.

On October 14, 2018, Avangard Omsk took on Barys Astana as part of the Kontinental Hockey League regular season. Avangard had a 3-2 lead with some 14 minutes left to play in the third period and were about to go on a power play as Barys’ Brandon Bochenski was about to get the gate. However, instead of trying to build on this delayed penalty, Avangard scored an own goal.

Avangard forward Mikhail Fisenko tried to give a shooting lane to his linemate Andrei Stas but could not quite execute a pass. The puck hit Stas’ skate, went through the entire length of the ice, and trickled into the net. Dustin Boyd was named the goalscorer as he had been the last Barys player to touch the puck.

Nonetheless, despite this mishap, Avangard still managed to get the 5-3 victory.
