1 / 6

I joined the NHL as an expansion franchise in 1991.

I reached the Stanley Cup Final for the first time in franchise history in 2016, falling to the Pittsburgh Penguins.

In 1994, I pulled off one of the biggest upsets in playoff history by defeating the top-seeded Detroit Red Wings in seven games.

My first captain was defenseman Doug Wilson, who later served as my General Manager for nearly two decades.

Goaltender Evgeni Nabokov holds my franchise records for the most games played, wins, and shutouts by a goalie.

I played my very first NHL game on October 4, 1991, on the road against the Vancouver Canucks.
