LEGENDARY GOALTENDER DOMINATES SEASON
Atkinson's second goal of the game - and 17th of 2021-22 against the visiting Kings on Jan. 29 seemed to put the Flyers in a great spot to grab a win, up two goals with 11:54 remaining in regulation. After Los Angeles scored twice down the stretch to tie it up, Atkinson earned an assist on Scott Laughton's overtime winner for a 4-3 victory.
Recognized as one of the premier defensemen in NHL, he has been 1st Team All-Star 4 times.
Brad was Rangers' team captain.
The defensive-minded Adams is at his best when he works at killing off penalties and back checking the opposition into turnovers. But his offensive skills are noteworthy as well, as he proved in 2005-06 with a new career high in goals.

Patrick had 26 saves to earn the first win at Colorado's Pepsi Center, a 2-1 triumph over the Bruins on Oct. 13, 1999. He had two shutouts that season, upping his career NHL regular-season total to 48. He saw his first NHL ice time in 1985.

Now in his fourth season with the Black Hawks, Dick can be used as both a forward and as a defenseman. He's a smart puck-handler and usually gets many assists.
Dick's brother plays for the Detroit Red Wings.
PLAYER SPOTLIGHT
48 points
Kerfoot helped the Maple Leafs ring in the new year with a 6-0 blanking of their provincial rivals, Ottawa, matching a career high with three assists in Toronto on Jan. 1, 2022. He had a career-best 36 helpers in 72 games through April 9, topping his previous high-water mark of 27 with Colorado in 2018-19, and his 48 points to that date were also a new standard.
VINTAGE SPOTLIGHT
Garnet is playing his second full season in the NHL. The young left winger played his Junior Hockey in Western Canada and spent some time in the AHL. Garnet had his best pro season with Hershey scoring 24 Goals and 32 Assists.
Rated one of best playmakers in league, Hay gets bigger kick out of setting up goal than scoring one himself. Important cog in success of Bobby Hull, he starred at Colorado College before turning to pro hockey with Calgary.
Bill posted an impressive record of 15 Wins, 8 Losses, and 1 Tie in 88-89, his first full season with Edmonton.
Perhaps the most remarkable athlete in hockey, Bower has played 10 years for Toronto after being considered "washed up" in 1958. His lifetime goals against average is under 2.50, the best in the game today. Broke into the NHL with New York.
At 44, Johnny is the oldest player in the NHL.
RETRO CORNER
New York's veteran defenseman, Harry is starting his 16th year as a Ranger. Last season he played perhaps the best hockey of his 15 years in the N.H.L. Was named #1 defenseman on the N.H.L. All-Star Team: and awarded the James Norris Trophy as best N.H.L. defenseman.
"Red" is a coach's dream come true. He is both a defensive stalwart and a scoring threat. A tireless player, "Red" has won a place on the N.H.L. All-Star Team four straight years. Trophies come to him in bunches. When the Norris Memorial trophy was put up for the Leading Defenseman last year, "Red" won it hands down. He also won the Lady Byng Cup for the 3rd time.
Sons Of Hockey Stars have seldom become stars themselves. Exceptions to this are Lynn and Muzz Patrick whose father was the great Lester Patrick.
One of the top hustlers in hockey, Jerry made grand comeback last season. It was his tenth year as a pro, and with 50 points he achieved personal high mark. All this after considering retirement the previous year because of injuries and aching legs.
Tim may be the first player in history to announce "retirement" after making the first All-Star team as he did last season. His slap shot is one of the hardest in the NHL, as are his bodychecks. You can't call him "Tiny" Tim.
Tim toured Europe during the summer!
MODERN ERA
After losing Guy Hebert in the 1993 Expansion Draft, the Blues knew they had to find a reliable backup for goaltender Curtis Joseph. They came up with a pretty good one when they obtained Jim from the Jets last summer in exchange for a draft pick. The standup netminder went 13-9-2 for the Capitals in 92-93 before being traded to Winnipeg at the March deadline.
Drafted off Montreal list in June, Gary was a staunch Springfield defender last season, his fifth in pro minors. Prematurely balding, Gary has speed and good shot off a point. He led AHL defensemen in goal scoring last season.
Last season was Cliff's best ever, and he is coming into his peak years now. Product of Denver University, he is a superior checker and a tough man in the corners. He needed only one year of minor league experience before cracking a talent-loaded Chicago team in 1969. One of the league's most durable players, Cliff seldom misses a game with injuries.
Cliff is one of the NHL's hardest workers.
80s-90s ERA
The number one netminder for the Canucks, McLean is one of the most technically sound goaltenders in the league. He has great lateral movement and plays a classic standup style. He led Vancouver to its second consecutive Smythe Title last season.
The Stars handed Nashville a 3-1 loss on Feb. 2, 2019, when Seguin scored his 250th career goal in the first period to tie the score.
An all-around athlete who also excels at baseball, football, and boxing, Bob is the highest-scoring left wing in Los Angeles history. He's a real marksman around the net, and paced the Kings with eight power play goals last season. Bob is a graduate of Sir George Williams University in Montreal, and in four short years has become the Kings' second leading all-time scorer.
One of Bob's hobbies is photography.
Terry was drafted from Detroit this past June. During his 14 seasons in the NHL, Terry has been named to three first All-Star teams and two second teams. He spent the 1955-56 and 1956-57 seasons with Boston between hitches with the Red Wings. Terry won the Vezina Trophy on three occasions.
Sawchuk holds the NHL record with 96 shutouts.
CLASSIC vs. MODERN
CLASSIC ERA
Ted is the rugged captain and leader of the North Stars. He played seven seasons for Montreal, but really became a favorite in Minnesota with his hard-hitting style of play. Ted's strength in front of the net is a tremendous help to the Minnesota goalies.
Ted spends his summers at a cabin at Lake Winnipeg.
MODERN ERA
In his first year in the NHL, Daniel (twin brother of Henrik) recorded 20 goals and ranked eighth among league rookies — and seventh on the Canucks - in total points.
Although Benny doesn't make the headlines, he's rated as one of the most effective defensemen in the National Hockey League. A pro since 1948, when he broke in with Indianapolis, Benny joined Detroit for 2 games at the end of the 1950-51 season, and has been a defensive mainstay since. Not known as a scorer, Benny did have 24 and 30 Points at Indianapolis in 1949-50 and 1950-51. 1951-52 he had 11 Points.
