Sorry, what's the connection?

Not sure how unusual this is - certainly at least a few teams have it covered - but the Colorado Avalanche (minus Nordiques) have shared at least one goalie with every team in the league save Vegas (and Hutchinson played for the Knights' AHL squad, fwiw).

Again, maybe not jaw-dropping, but I thought it was notable, especially for a team that's been around for only about 30 years.

for 1000 goals on the 4th line. Didnt the Wings one year have Federov, Hull and another Hall of famer on their 4th line one year

When were Sergei Fedorov and Brett Hull playing on the fourth line?

When were Sergei Fedorov and Brett Hull playing on the fourth line?

It was the year they had Yserman, Datsyuk, Zetterberg and Federov was bounced all over the roster and for awhile they had him, hull and someone who was on his last legs on the line. There was a joke on these boards that the line was getting paid more than entire team. They did not spend the entire year together but where together for a time on the 4th line. I think it was the year before the season that got cancelled and the Wings owner went all in to win. It was the line that was used as an example of why the NHL needed a cap. Wings had just spent insane money on their roster that year
