#10B – GOALTENDER, EDDIE BELFOUR

Four-time Jennings Trophy winner, two-time Vezina Trophy winner, former Calder Trophy recipient, the list goes on and on. Nonetheless, for Eddie Belfour, he didn’t need a single award to display how great of an NHL netminder he was.

The Hockey Hall of Fame inductee began his career with the Chicago Blackhawks, capturing over 200 wins and the Calder, Jennings, and Vezina Trophies in 1990-91. “The Eagle” earned a berth in the 1992 Stanley Cup Final, and yet again win the Vezina in 1993.

In the 1997 season, the undrafted goaltender was traded to San Jose, playing just 13 games in Northern California prior to signing with the Dallas Stars in the offseason. Belfour set himself up for a career-best stretch of unbelievably clutch hockey and a 2.19 GAA over 307 games played in green.

Belfour, winning the Jennings Trophy yet again with Roman Turek behind him, posted a 35-15-9 record with an incredible 16-7, .930 SV%, and 1.67 GAA over the playoffs in which Dallas downed Buffalo in six games for the franchise’s only Stanley Cup.

As a five-time All-Star, Belfour was inducted into the Hockey Hall of Fame in Toronto, Ontario in 2011. The Carmen, Manitoba native ended his career with the Maple Leafs and Panthers after racking up the third-most goaltender victories in NHL history (484).
