The 2023 NHL Stanley Cup
Playoffs begin on April 17, and
there will be at least a handful of
American-born goaltenders look-
ing to help lead their respective
teams to Lord Stanley's Cup.
Here's a look at some of the
American-born goalies who may
make an impact.
Connor Hellebuyck, the 2020 Vezina Award winner, will
be looking to carry the Winnipeg Jets on a Cinderella
run after the Jets snagged the last playoff spot in the
Western Conference. Hellebuyck is one of the top goalies
in the NHL, and he won a career-high 37 games during
the regular season.

in Edmonton, but Campbell could be called upon in
the postseason. Stuart will be making his NHL Stanley Cup

Jake Oettinger has evolved into one of the league's elite goaltenders this
season, and the 24-year-old is set to return to the postseason with Dallas
after the Stars lost a gut-wrenching seven-game, first-round series against
the Calgary Flames last year. Oettinger made 64 saves in Dallas' 3-2 loss,
becoming the second goalie to make 60 or more saves in a Game 7 since 1955.
