I was a goaltender who played 13 seasons for the same NHL franchise.

I was just the eighth goalie in NHL history to earn my first 300 career wins with a single franchise.

I am the only goaltender in my franchise's history to be credited with scoring a goal.

In 2011, I earned a selection to the NHL All-Star Game hosted in Raleigh.

I won the Conn Smythe Trophy as a rookie after helping my team capture its first Stanley Cup.

My first NHL win came after I stopped Mario Lemieux, Zigmund Palffy, and Sidney Crosby in a shootout.
