The Columbus Blue Jackets have a gem in Sergei Bobrovsky. Bob has a career 2.45 goals against average (GAA) and .920 save percentage (SV%). These numbers put Bobrovsky in the top tier of Russian goaltenders in the NHL. The two that join him toward the top include Nikolai Khabibulin and Ilya Bryzgalov.

Khabibulin played 19 NHL seasons for Winnipeg, Phoenix, Tampa Bay, Chicago and Edmonton. Nikolai made four all-star game appearances and even won a Stanley Cup with the Tampa Bay Lightning, becoming the first Russian goalie to do so.
