List of NHL goaltenders with 300 wins

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Winning 300 regular season games in the National Hockey League (NHL) is a rare and celebrated milestone for a goaltender.[1] Thirty-nine goaltenders have reached this mark in NHL history; the first was Turk Broda of the Toronto Maple Leafs, who reached the milestone on December 20, 1950.[2] The most recent was Craig Anderson of the Buffalo Sabres, who won his 300th game during the 2021–22 NHL season. Jacques Plante of the Montreal Canadiens was the fastest goaltender to reach the 300-win mark, achieving the milestone in his 528th game played.[3]

Prominent goaltenders

[edit]

Martin Brodeur is the all-time leader with 691 career regular season victories. He set the NHL record for wins on March 17, 2009, when he broke Patrick Roy's record of 551 wins.[4] In reaching the 691 wins, Brodeur had eight seasons with at least 40 wins; no other goaltender has had more than three seasons with at least 40 wins.[5] Brodeur credited his durability, noting he was fortunate to avoid suffering any serious injuries during his career, while having the ability to play in excess of 70 games per season for 10 consecutive years.[6] In 2024, Marc-Andre Fleury surpassed Patrick Roy's 551 wins to become the NHL's second-winningest goaltender, with 552 career regular season victories.[7]

Only sixteen goaltenders on this list have won at least 300 games on one team: Martin Brodeur (New Jersey Devils), Marc-Andre Fleury (Pittsburgh Penguins), Terry Sawchuk (Detroit Red Wings), Jacques Plante (Montreal Canadiens), Tony Esposito (Chicago Blackhawks), Chris Osgood (Detroit Red Wings), Jonathan Quick (Los Angeles Kings), Miikka Kiprusoff (Calgary Flames), Billy Smith (New York Islanders), Olaf Kolzig (Washington Capitals), and only six of those goaltenders on this list (Turk Broda (Toronto Maple Leafs), Mike Richter (New York Rangers), Pekka Rinne (Nashville Predators), Carey Price (Montreal Canadiens), Tuukka Rask (Boston Bruins) and Henrik Lundqvist (New York Rangers) have played all their games with one team. Brodeur played his first 1,259 games for the New Jersey Devils and only his final seven games with the St. Louis Blues.

If one combines both their NHL and World Hockey Association (WHA) statistics, Gerry Cheevers (329), Mike Liut (325), and Bernie Parent (304) would have at least 300 wins as well.

Three goaltenders on this list remain active in the 2023–24 NHL season: Sergei Bobrovsky (FLA), Marc-Andre Fleury (MIN), and Jonathan Quick (NYR).[8]

Fourteen of the goaltenders on this list have been elected to the Hockey Hall of Fame, the most recent being 2023 inductee Henrik Lundqvist.[9]

The 39 goaltenders who have 300 NHL wins consist of 22 Canadians, six Americans (Tom Barrasso, John Vanbiesbrouck, Mike Richter, Ryan Miller, Jonathan Quick and Craig Anderson), four Finns (Miikka Kiprusoff, Kari Lehtonen, Pekka Rinne, Tuukka Rask), three Russians (Sergei Bobrovsky, Nikolai Khabibulin, Evgeni Nabokov), two Czechs (Dominik Hasek, Tomas Vokoun), one German[10] (Olaf Kolzig), and one Swede (Henrik Lundqvist).

According to Brent Sutter, who coached Brodeur and Kiprusoff, and played with Ed Belfour and Billy Smith, goaltenders who reach 300 wins are all highly competitive athletes: "They were guys that every game, you knew you could count on them."[1]
