5. Tom Barrasso

Barrasso is just one of eight goaltenders to appear in over 200 games with the Buffalo Sabres. His 13 shutouts are fifth-most in Sabres franchise history, as are his 124 wins.

He also appeared in 12 playoff games with the Sabres, racking up a 4.18 GAA and a 3-8 record. His 661 minutes played in the postseason are sixth-most in franchise history for a goaltender, while his 12 games are also sixth-most in the franchise’s history.

To this day, Barrasso is one of only two Sabres players to win the Calder Memorial Trophy as the NHL’s top rookie – and the only Sabres netminder to do so. He also win the Vezina Trophy in 1984 and shared the William M. Jennings Trophy in 1985 with Bob Sauve.

He was also honore with NHL Player of the Month honors for January 1988.

Sabres Regular Season Record: 266 gp — 15,463 minutes — 3.28 GAA — 124-102-28
