The NHL Stats and Information team reminisces on memorable moments and achievements of the past decade. “The Goalies” recaps some of the top goaltending performances of the 2010s.
Tim Thomas Thomas won his second Vezina Trophy in 2011 after also winning both the Stanley Cup and Conn Smythe Trophy that year. He posted a .940 save percentage in the 2011 Playoffs, tied for the fourth- highest on record for a single postseason (min. 20 GP).
Henrik Lundqvist Lundqvist claimed the Vezina Trophy in 2011-12 after posting a career-high 39 wins. He posted the third-most wins this decade (299) to climb from 89th place (159) to fifth place (458) on the NHL’s all- time wins list during the 2010s.
Sergei Bobrovsky Bobrovsky is the only goaltender to win the Vezina Trophy twice during the 2010s, claiming his first in 2012-13 on the strength of a career-high .932 save percentage and again in 2016-17 following a career-best 41 wins.
Martin Brodeur Brodeur posted both the final win and final shutout of his NHL career on Dec. 29, 2014 while playing with the Blues - his only season not in a Devils uniform. He played one more game after that before retiring with 691 wins and 125 shutouts during the regular season – both NHL records.
Braden Holtby Holtby won the Vezina Trophy in 2015-16 after matching Martin Brodeur’s single-season NHL record with 48 wins. He had three seasons of 40+ wins this decade, tied with Pekka Rinne for the most in the 2010s.
Carey Price After leading Canada to a World Cup of Hockey title, Price translated his success to the 2016-17 season with a 10-0-0 start – an NHL record for longest season-opening win streak by a goaltender. The 2010s also saw Price capture the Vezina Trophy in 2014-15 after he posted a franchise-record 44 wins.
Pekka Rinne After guiding the Predators to their first-ever Stanley Cup Final in 2017, Rinne posted a 42-win season in 2017-18 to claim the Vezina Trophy. He was a runaway winner and the third Finnish-born goaltender to capture the award, joining Miikka Kiprusoff (2005-06) and Tuukka Rask (2013-14).
Marc-Andre Fleury Fleury led all goaltenders in regular-season wins over the past decade (321). He is one of four goaltenders with multiple Stanley Cup wins in the 2010s; only three netminders have more than his 47 playoff wins in that span.
Jordan Binnington Binnington, a catalyst of the Blues’ historic turnaround in 2018-19, went 24-5-1 as a rookie with a .927 save percentage, five shutouts and an NHL-leading 1.89 goals-against average (min. 25 GP). He then became the first rookie in NHL history to earn 16 wins en route to capturing a Stanley Cup.
Roberto Luongo Luongo announced his retirement just before 2019-20, ending his 19-season NHL career with the second-most regular-season games played among goaltenders (1,044) and the third-most wins (489). He also retired among the top 10 in regular season shutouts (9th; 77) and save percentage (t- 9th; .919).
