*playoff debut / stanley cup winning set
Born on February 7, 1978 in Fribourg, Switzerland, David Aebischer arrived onto the NHL radar during the 1996-97 World Junior Championships, getting drafted 161st overall by Colorado in 1997. Turning pro in 1997-98, Aebischer went through the grind of going from the ECHL, to the AHL, to AHL starter until 1999-00. After Marc Denis was moved and no longer the backup to Patrick Roy, David Aebischer won his roster spot as full-time back up to Roy in 2000-01. Aebischer made his NHL debut on Octboer 18, 2000 v Columbus (ironically against Denis). Aebischer stopped 20 of 21 shots in a 5-1 victory. He then followed that up with an 18 save shutout in his second NHL game only eight days later. In his rookie season, Aebischer appeared in 26 games, recording three shutouts, and he also won the Stanley Cup with Colorado. For the next two seasons, Aebischer performed very well as backup to Patrick Roy, however, after Roy's retirement following the 2002-03 gave Aebischer his chance to be an NHL starter. In 2003-04, Aebischer appeared in a career high 62 games, recording career highs in wins (32), losses (19), and shutouts (4). After the lockout year, Aebischer formed a goaltending tandem with rookie Peter Budaj, before Aebischer was traded to Montreal in exchange for Jose Theodore. In Montreal, Aebischer posted average numbers over two seasons before being signed by Phoenix in 2007. With the Coyotes, Aebischer appeared in one single game before returning to Europe. After a tryout with the new Winnipeg Jets in 2011-12, Aebischer played with their minor affiliate in St. John's before again returning to Europe. Aebischer retired following the 2014-15 campaign and has since been a goaltending coach over in Switzerland.
