All three NHL clubs from the New York City area have been spoiled with fantastic goaltenders over the past four decades and counting.
Notable greats such as Martin Brodeur, Mike Richter, Henrik Lundqvist, and Billy Smith all earned success, and none ever dressed for more than one of the city’s local squads.
This led ESNY to answer an interesting question: What goaltenders have played for the New Jersey Devils, New York Rangers, and New York Islanders?
Masked men and Stanley Cup winners like Glenn “Chico” Resch and Chris Terreri might initially come to mind, but the two strapped on the pads for the Devils and Islanders while leaving the Broadway Blueshirts off their hockey resumes.
