I have no clue about this and it was brought up today. Looking for some help.

If a goalie is carrying a shutout throughout regulation and injures himself and gets pulled. Does he get credit for a shutout if the other goalie lets in a goal in overtime?

No, pretty sure you don't get credit unless you finish out the entire game. Remember Johnny's shutout when he fought Ricky? Pretty sure neither goalie was awarded a S.O. Gotta play the whole time.

What if for whatever bizarre reason they don't replace the injured goalie with his backup but instead play with an extra attacker for the remainder of the game? Would he get a shutout in that case? Its an extremely unlikely scenario but I wonder what the answer would be. The reason I ask is because if a goalie only plays 59 minutes of the game as a result of skating to the bench for an extra attacker on 1 or more delayed penalty calls, it doesn't affect his shutout eligibiity.

In the event a shutout happens while using several goaltenders, the shutout will be credited to the team who shut out the opponent; however, no single goaltender will be awarded the shutout. It has happened several times in NHL history, including:

During the 1982-83 Washington Capitals season, the Washington Capitals and their goalies Al Jensen and Pat Riggin had shared a shutout.

December 8, 2001: the Anaheim Mighty Ducks won 4-0 over the Minnesota Wild with Jean-Sébastien Giguère and later, Steve Shields keeping the net.

November 23, 2006: the Nashville Predators won 6-0 over the Vancouver Canucks with Tomas Vokoun who left the game injured. He was replaced by Chris Mason who completed the job.

December 12, 2007: the Ottawa Senators won 6-0 over the Carolina Hurricanes with Ray Emery who left the game injured after making one save. He was replaced by Martin Gerber who finished off the other 31 saves.

December 1, 2009: the Toronto Maple Leafs won 3-0 over the Montreal Canadiens with Jonas Gustavsson who left the game after the first period because of heart problems. He was replaced by Joey MacDonald who played the last two periods.

February 2, 2011: the Pittsburgh Penguins won 3-0 over the New York Islanders with Brent Johnson who left the game after instigating a fight with Islanders' goalie Rick DiPietro with a dismal 17 seconds left in the third period. Johnson was replaced by goaltender Marc-Andre Fleury.

That'd have to be a shutout...as long as the goalie wasn't replaced, it'd make sense. What if the goalie had a shutout, needed to come out for equipment fix midway through, then went back in?
