Which NHL goaltender holds the record for most regular-season wins?

The story behind the answer

Martin Brodeur holds the NHL record for most regular-season wins by a goaltender, with 691.

Brodeur earned those victories primarily with the New Jersey Devils, where he played from 1991 until 2014. He became the backbone of a team known for structured defensive play and helped the Devils win three Stanley Cups.

His career also includes records for regular-season shutouts and games played by a goaltender. Brodeur’s ability to handle the puck behind his net made him especially influential in the era before goaltending equipment and playing styles changed significantly.

The record concerns regular-season victories, not playoff wins or total games. Brodeur also won 113 playoff games, but that separate figure is not added to his official regular-season total.
