But what else do they have in common? They're all Canadian.
To just about no one's surprise, the top 10 goalies in NHL history (in terms of all-time wins) are all Canadian-born netminders. But who is the all-time leader in wins among American-born goalies?
It just so happens that a pair of veteran American backstops — who were also teammates on the 2010 United States Olympic team — take the ice on Thursday night in Boston as Tim Thomas' Bruins host Ryan Miller's Sabres.
Entering Thursday, Miller, from East Lansing, Mich., has 215 wins in 388 games played while Thomas, a native of Flint, Mich., has 155 wins in 308 games played.
Who holds the NHL all-time record for most victories among American-born goaltenders?
