NHL Goalies With 300 Career Wins (Updated List)

The All-Time Leader: Martin Brodeur's 691 Wins

Martin Brodeur stands alone at the top of the all-time wins list with 691 career victories, a record that may never be broken.

The Achievement: Brodeur's total came across 22 seasons with New Jersey, playing behind the Devils' structured defensive system. He logged 70+ game seasons multiple times, turning consistency into sheer volume of wins.

The Gap: Marc-Andre Fleury (551 wins) and Patrick Roy (551 wins) are the only other goalies to clear 550 victories, illustrating how hard it is not just to reach 300 but to keep winning at elite level deep into a career.

Brodeur's combination of durability, team success, and elite goaltending created a wins total that appears untouchable in the modern tandem era.

These milestone lists aren't just trivia, they're cheat codes. Try Gridzy Hockey and use your 40-goal and 100-point knowledge to solve today's grid.

The 300-Win Club by Era

Original Six Era (1942-1967)

The first goalie to hit 300 wins was Turk Broda of Toronto, who recorded his 300th victory in 1950.

Key Names:

• Terry Sawchuk (447 wins)
• Jacques Plante (437 wins)
• Glenn Hall (407 wins)

In those days, schedules were shorter, backup goalies were seldom used, and goaltenders routinely played almost every game. This created a different workload profile compared to modern tandems.

Expansion Era (1967-1990s)

As expansion arrived in 1967, opportunities for wins increased with more teams and games.

Notable 300-Win Goalies:

• Tony Esposito (423 wins)
• Grant Fuhr (403 wins)
• Mike Vernon (385 wins)

By the 1980s and early 1990s, high-octane offense and looser defensive systems made wins a double-edged sword. Goalies backstopped powerhouse teams but did so in an era of sky-high scoring, reflected in their win totals alongside modest save percentages by modern standards.

Dead Puck Era (Mid-1990s to Early 2000s)

The Dead Puck Era arguably helped build the modern wins list more than any other period, with defensive systems and goaltending techniques driving down scoring.

Era Dominance:

• Martin Brodeur (691 wins)
• Ed Belfour (484 wins)
• Curtis Joseph (454 wins)
• Dominik Hasek (389 wins)

Brodeur's New Jersey teams were the archetype: structured defense, low-event hockey, and a goaltender who played 70+ games multiple times. This era let starters log huge workloads.

Modern Era (2005-Present)

With post-lockout rules opening up offense, future 300-win goalies had to combine technique and athleticism with stronger puck-handling.

Modern 300-Win Goalies:

• Marc-Andre Fleury (551 wins)
• Roberto Luongo (489 wins)
• Henrik Lundqvist (459 wins)
• Carey Price (361 wins)
• Jonathan Quick (403 wins)

Names like Luongo and Lundqvist symbolize this hybrid style: facing more chances but in systems built to funnel shots into manageable areas, allowing them to stay elite over long stretches.

Active 300-Win Goalies

Several active goalies have crossed or are approaching the 300-win threshold:

Andrei Vasilevskiy: 330+ wins

Future 300-Win Contenders

Several younger goalies project to have realistic shots at 300:

Igor Shesterkin (Vezina winner)

• Elite save percentages with Rangers
• Carrying heavy workload
• On pace if health holds

Ilya Sorokin

• Islanders' workhorse starter
• Consistent excellence
• Current trajectory suggests 300 possible

Jake Oettinger

• Young Dallas franchise goalie
• Heavy usage already
• If maintains pace, 300 is realistic

Juuse Saros

• Nashville's elite starter
• Faces high shot volumes
• Durability will determine milestone

The trend toward more balanced tandems makes predicting future 300-win goalies harder than in previous eras.

Era-Adjusted Context

Traditional counting stats like wins are heavily influenced by team context and era.

Era Considerations:

1960s goalie with 320 wins:

• Shorter schedule (70 games)
• Played almost every game
• Harder per-minute workload

2000s goalie with 320 wins:

• Longer schedule (82 games)
• Elite defensive system
• Lower shots faced per game

Modern goalie approaching 300:

• Tandem usage limits games
• More offensive environment
• Better conditioning extends careers

Adjusted for era, a goalie with 320 wins in the 1960s may have worked much harder in terms of minutes played and shots faced than someone with similar total behind top-tier 2000s defensive system.

The "What If" Stories

Several recently retired or current goalies had their 300-win pursuits altered by circumstances:

Carey Price: 361 wins

• Injuries derailed late-career climb
• Could have reached 400+ if healthy
• Montreal's struggles limited wins

Pekka Rinne: 369 wins

• Retired just short of 400
• Entire career with Nashville
• Elite but not quite 400-win tier

Tuukka Rask: 308 wins

• Hip injuries forced early retirement
• Could have added 50+ more wins
• Barely crossed 300 threshold

These stories illustrate how injuries, lockouts, and late-career declines can cut short possible climbs up the all-time wins ladder.

What 300 Wins Means

Three hundred wins represents sustained excellence as a franchise goaltender across a decade or more. It requires combination of individual skill, team success, durability, and opportunity.

Many 300-win goalies are also Stanley Cup champions or deep playoff regulars, but there are notable exceptions who did most of their work on teams that rarely contended. Roberto Luongo (489 wins, no Cup) and Henrik Lundqvist (459 wins, no Cup) represent elite goalies who accumulated massive win totals despite limited team success.

The 300-win club serves as benchmark for longevity, health, and team-driven success. In the modern tandem era, reaching this milestone is increasingly difficult, making active and future 300-win goalies even more impressive.
