Bryzgalov sets franchise record with 34th win
GLENDALE -- Phoenix Coyotes goaltender Ilya Bryzgalov set a new franchise record for wins by a goaltender in a single season by earning his 34th victory of the 2009-10 season tonight as the Coyotes defeated the Anaheim Ducks 4-0 at Jobing.com Arena.
The previous record for wins by a goaltender in a season in Coyotes/Winnipeg Jets franchise history was 33 games, shared by Sean Burke (2001-02), Bob Essensa (1992-93) and Brian Hayward (1984-85).
Bryzgalov's shutout versus Anaheim was his seventh of the season, tying him for the NHL lead.
