> ℹ️ - Also note that the first goalie selected will be your strating goalkeeper.

3. **Off Time:** This is the time when the infraction was called by an official.

The system will indicate that 14 minutes and 30 seconds have elapsed since the start of the period.
4. **Opportunities**: This refers to the number of power play opportunities that this penalty gives to the opposing team.

2. **Options**: Indicate whether the goal was scored during a power play, penalty kill, into an empty net, or on a penalty shot. If you do not select any option, the system will default to recording the goal as scored during even strength play.
3. **Goal Time**: This is the time when the goal was scored (e.g., with 5:30 remaining on the clock in the first period).
Click **Save** once you have completed the goal form.
As with penalties, goals will appear in the dashboard of your scoresheet. To edit or delete a goal in case of error, click on the pencil or the [X] at the far right of the goal section.
