Father/Son Goalie Duos Scored On By The Same Player

[Nogatco Rd]

Tonight Alex Ovechkin scored against Daniil Tarasov of the Columbus Blue Jackets.

Tarasov’s father, Vadim Tarasov, played goalie in the KHL from 2002-2013. Apparently Ovechkin scored on the elder Tarasov during the 2002-3 and 2004-5 seasons.

Certainly two generations of skaters have scored on the same goalie (e.g., Howe & sons), but I’m curious about the inverse. Had this feat been accomplished before tonight, either in the NHL or another “major” league like the KHL?

I’d imagine Howe or Jagr would be two of the more likely candidates.

Edit:
Upon further review, this isn’t the first time Ovi has scored on the younger Tarasov… see thread linked below. Thanks to @Alex K for the correction

Ovechkin scored against father and son 19 years apart

On september 22nd 2002 17-years old Ovechkin scored against Metallurg Novokuznetsk with Vadim Tarasov in net. Unfortunately I couldn't find the video, only the summary of the game. 2002 год. 22 сентября (воскресенье) Динамо (Москва) - Металлург (Новокузнецк) 4:1 , 2002/03, дома 19 years later...

The closest I could find in the NHL is that Pierre Turgeon scored on Philippe Sauve in 2006 and scored twice in a game Bob Sauve appeared in in 1988, though both those goals were scored on Sean Burke and Sauve came in relief afterwards.

How many father-son goalie combos are they exactly?

Multiple players in Liiga have scored against both Jussi and Juho Markkanen.

Dave Keon scored on both Dennis and his son Pat Riggin.

While a leaf Keon scored on Dennis who played on the Red wings during the '63 season.

Keon would later defect to the WHA and the New England Whalers where the team would face the Birmingham Bulls during the '79 season. Keon scored 2 goals on Pat Riggin.
