New York Rangers goalie Jonathan Quick reached a massive career milestone on Sunday night in a 4-2 win over the Vegas Golden Knights.

That win is the 400th win of his career, making him the first American-born goalie to ever reach that milestone and only the 15th in NHL history.

Along with his two Stanley Cup wins, Quick has put together a tremendous career that will likely result in a trip to the Hockey Hall of Fame.

Now that the 38-year-old has reached this milestone, let's take some time to rank him and the top-10 best American-born goalies of all time.

Along with overall numbers, awards and hardware play a big role in the ranking criteria as does the ability to excel against their peers of their specific era. Comparing numbers across generations can be tough, so it comes down to how much better they were than the goalies they competed against.

10. John Gibson

John Gibson's career is pretty much broken down into two different parts: The first six years and the past six years.

When it comes to a "what have you done for me lately" approach, the 31-year-old is not going to be given as much grace because the past seasons have not been overly productive, while his contract has been a negative drain on the Anaheim Ducks' salary cap. He hasn't been great.

That wasn't always the case for Gibson, though.

Over the first six years of his career, the Pittsburgh native was one of the best goalies in hockey and backstopped the Ducks to a Western Conference Final. He has reached a nice milestone number of 200 wins and still has a strong career save percentage of .910, even with his recent down years.

A very strong career that started off with some truly great seasons.

9. Ben Bishop

Ben Bishop does not have any individual hardware or championships, but for a solid six-year stretch he was objectively one of the best goalies in hockey.

The Denver native finished in the top 10 in save percentage four times and was a finalist for the Vezina Trophy on three occasions.

Bishop was still at the top of his game in the 2019-20 season when injuries put a premature end to his career.

8. John Vanbiesbrouck

On the ice, John Vanbiesbrouck was an outstanding goalie with the New York Rangers and Florida Panthers.

He won a Vezina Trophy (and was a consistent vote-getter for the award as a member of the Rangers) and lead the 1995-96 Panthers—a third-year expansion team—on an improbable run to the Stanley Cup Final.

Vanbiesbrouck is third on the all-time wins list for USA-born goalies.

Aside from the early-career Vezina Trophy, the Detroit native does not have the team success, individual success or long-term dominance that the players ahead of him had.

Off the ice, his long-term reputation was damaged when he used a racial slur toward Trevor Daley when he was the head coach of the OHL's Sault Ste. Marie Greyhounds.

Vanbiesbrouck resigned and never coached again, but he is currently the general manager of the U.S. men's Olympic team.

7. Ryan Miller

Ryan Miller had an outstanding career that was ultimately wasted by playing on some really subpar teams in Buffalo, Vancouver and Anaheim, resulting in only seven playoff appearances throughout his career (and only five in which he was a full-time starter).

The East Lansing, Michigan native has a Vezina Trophy on his resume, and he was a consistent top-10 goalie (or better) in the league throughout the prime of his career, mostly with Buffalo.

He is second on the all-time wins list for American-born goalies and was mostly consistent.

But Miller does not really have the team success or bursts of dominance that some of the goalies ahead of him have had.

6. Mike Richter

Mike Richter is not only a Rangers legend, but he was also one of the best goalies of the 1990s regardless of where he was born.

His biggest moment came during the 1993-94 season when he helped New York end its 54-year Stanley Cup drought with a dominant performance throughout the postseason.

Along with a .921 save percentage in his 23 playoff appearances that year, he also recorded four shutouts and was at his best when the Rangers were facing elimination in the Eastern Conference Final against the New Jersey Devils.

Along with his NHL success, Richter also has an Olympic silver medal and a World Cup of Hockey gold medal.

The one thing that limited his career and left a lot of it as a big "what if" is that a significant portion of his career was derailed by injuries.

When the Abington, Pennsylvania native was healthy, though, he was a franchise goalie for the Rangers.

5. Jonathan Quick

Jonathan Quick's career is a fascinating one because you cannot dispute the durability, the consistency, the overall numbers and the obvious high points.

Those high points were sensational.

During the 2011-12 and 2013-14 seasons, and especially during the Los Angeles Kings' Stanley Cup runs, he played as well as any goalie in the modern era.

Those playoff performances were legendary, especially during the 2011-12 run when he posted an almost unimaginable .946 save percentage in 20 games. No goalie has ever had a higher number in the history of the league in a single postseason run with a minimum of 20 games played.

The problem for Quick was that those performances seemed to overly define his career, and there seemed to be a perception that he always played at that level.

He didn't.

For the bulk of his career the Milford, Connecticut native was a very good, above-average goalie. And that's fine. It is not meant to be a criticism. It is an excellent career that has featured both short-term bursts of dominance and long-term consistency. At some point it will probably get him a spot in the Hockey Hall of Fame (goalies who win championships and get big win totals always eventually get in).

I just think if we are talking overall dominance and all-time great status, there are a handful of American-born goalies who just edge out Quick. Even with the win total record.

4. Connor Hellebuyck

There is going to come a point in the not-too-distant future when Connor Hellebuyck might top this list. Especially if he can add a Stanley Cup, or perhaps even an Olympic gold medal to his resume.

The team success to this point has escaped him, but I'm not sure how much that can be put on him because he hasn't always had the most help around him.

The Winnipeg Jets are one of the teams that have fallen victim to the curse of elite goaltending and just overly depended on the fact that they have a game-stealing, game-changing and season-changing goalie who can always bail them out.

The Michigan native, 31, usually does that as much as he can.

He already has two Vezina Trophies, has the second-best save percentage among active NHL goalies and the 14th best of all time.

Winnipeg leans on Hellebuyck more than almost any other team leans on a goalie, and he excels with it.

3. Frank Brimsek

It is really difficult to compare players across eras. Especially goalies.

And especially when we are talking about Original Six era goalies few people around today ever got to see play.

But in terms of what they did against their counterparts in the league at the time of their careers, Frank Brimsek is absolutely deserving of a spot on this list. And a high spot.

The Eveleth, Minnesota native was a workhorse for the Boston Bruins, consistently among the league-leaders in games played, wins, goals against average and shutouts, and he also won two Stanley Cups. Along with Tom Barrasso, he is one of just two USA-born goalies in the Hockey Hall of Fame.

Sometimes a player's resume just has to do the talking, and Brimsek's is as good as any goalie from his era. If not better.

2. Tim Thomas

Is this too high for a goalie who did not become a full-time, regular NHL player until he was 31 and only played 426 regular-season games?

Not when you consider what he actually did in those games.

Tim Thomas' career was not about long-term consistency or piling up counting stats. It was about short-term brilliance and dominance. Complete dominance.

Even though he was a late-bloomer and did not have an extremely long NHL career, he made the most of it with two Vezina trophies, a Stanley Cup, a Conn Smythe Trophy and twice leading the league in save percentage.

There were 51 goalies between the 2005-06 and 2011-12 seasons (Thomas' run as a full-time starting goalie) who played in at least 150 games, and none of them had a higher regular-season save percentage than the Flint, Michigan native.

There were 22 goalies who appeared in at least 25 playoff games during that stretch. None of them had a higher postseason save percentage than Thomas' .933, and none of them were even higher than .928.

Thomas did not play for a long time, but he dominated when he did.

1. Tom Barrasso

Tom Barrasso's list of accomplishments in the NHL is significant.

He backstopped the early 1990s Pittsburgh Penguins to back-to-back Stanley Cups, won the Vezina Trophy and Calder Trophy as an 18-year-old rookie right out of high school, was a five-time finalist for the Vezina Trophy, and he is one of just two American-born goalies to make the Hockey Hall of Fame.

His 369 wins currently rank him fourth on the NHL's all-time wins list, but keep something in mind about that ranking: The Boston native played the entirety of his career in the non-shootout era.

Jonathan Quick, the current American-born wins leader, has 51 shootout wins. Without those, he is still behind Barrasso despite having played in more games.

The same is true for Ryan Miller, the No. 2 goalie on the American-born wins leaderboard.

John Vanbiesbrouck, the No. 3 goalie on the American-born wins list only has five more wins than Barrasso despite playing in more than 100 additional games.

His individual numbers in terms of save percentage and goals against average might not compare to goalies in more recent times, but you have to consider the era in which he played and what goalie numbers and offense looked like in those seasons.

For his time, Barrasso was as good as any goalie in hockey.
