Sergei Bobrovsky is on the case with an NHL record-setting 400th win.
Bobrovsky reached the milestone with the Florida Panthers on Thursday’s 3-1 win over the New York Rangers. He stopped 24 of 25 shots for his fourth win of the season in his seventh start.
Only 13 other goalies in NHL history accomplished 400 wins, with Martin Brodeur (691 total wins), Marc-Andre Fleury (561) and Patrick Roy (551) sitting in the top three.
As Bobrovsky becomes the 14th netminder to hit the mark, he did something different than those three goalies and any other. It only took him 707 games to reach the milestone, breaking Henrik Lundqvist’s record of 727 games to become the fastest goaltender in NHL history to get to 400.
Bobrovsky has a 400-226-56 career regular-season record with a 2.59 goals-against average, .915 save percentage and 44 shutouts. Of those wins, 42 came with the Philadelphia Flyers, 213 came with the Columbus Blue Jackets, and the remaining 145 came with the Panthers.
The 36-year-old from Novokuznetsk, Russia, won the Vezina Trophy in 2012-13 and 2016-17, both with the Blue Jackets. But after a Stanley Cup final appearance in 2023, he won the Cup with the Panthers in June 2024.
