Here are the 10 goalies with the most wins in NHL history originally appeared on NBC Sports Chicago

Martin Brodeur’s grip on the NHL record books is in a comfortable spot seven years following his retirement.

The New Jersey Devils legend played 22 seasons before hanging up his skates in 2015. Looking through the NHL leaderboards, it could be a while before any goalie begins nearing his career accomplishments. 

Marc-Andre Fleury, however, is on his way as he just joined the elusive 500-win club. The goalie reached the mark in December 2021 with the Chicago Blackhawks against his childhood team, the Montreal Canadiens. It is just another line on the long resume for Fleury, the 2020-21 Vezina Trophy winner who also has three Stanley Cup titles.

Fleury is just the third NHL goalie to eclipse 500 victories. Next up is Patrick Roy with an astounding 551 wins, but even he isn’t in the ballpark of Brodeur’s 691.

Let’s take a look at how Fleury and other all-time goalies stack up against Brodeur:

Fleury is far and away the NHL wins leader among active goalies with 520. Carey Price (361) and Jonathan Quick (359) are next on that list.

In a historic context, Fleury surpassed a pair of accomplished goalies on the all-time wins list during his Vezina-winning 2020-21 season with the Vegas Golden Knights. Following win No. 500, Roy’s 551 will be the next major benchmark for Fleury.
