Ranking the top 10 Arizona Coyotes players of all time
5. Nikolai Khabibulin, G (1996-99)
Known as the 鈥淏ulin Wall,鈥� Khabibulin was drafted by the Winnipeg Jets and moved with the team to Arizona. He鈥檇 played three seasons in Arizona, won 92 games and saved .910% of his shots. However, every year he minded the crease, the Coyotes went to the playoffs. In the 1997 playoffs, he saved a career-best .932% of shots.聽
2/13/99 鈥� Nikolai Khabibulin (5-1-1 w/2 SO's & a 0.99 GAA in his last 7 starts) was as sharp as ever – he needed to be considering who was standing in front of him, Patrick Roy – who he out-dueled for the 1st time-ever, leading the Phoenix Coyotes to a 4-1 win at Colorado.
