SHORT BIO: Born on February 7, 1980 in Pictou, Nova Scotia, Joey MacDonald was an undrafted goaltender who worked his way up from the OHL to the ECHL, and then to the AHL within three seasons. With hard work and having been a property of the Red Wings since 2002, MacDonald finally made the NHL in 2006-07. His NHL debut came in relief of Chris Osgood on October 19, 2006 in a 5-1 defeat against San Jose. He played eight games with Detroit before being placed on waivers and then claimed by the Boston Bruins. At the end of the season, Boston chose not to re-sign him, so the Islanders took a chance on him and by 2008-09, he worked his way up to be the starter of the team. In 2009-10, the Toronto Maple Leafs signed MacDonald, but he only lasted six games with the big club. The Red Wings then signed him again at the conclusion of the season, where he played for two more years (splitting time between the NHL and AHL) before being picked up by the Calgary Flames for 2012-13 and 2013-14. After two brief seasons with the Flames, the Montreal Canadiens signed MacDonald, but he did not make a regular season appearance for them in 2014-15. After the conclusion of the season, he went to Germany to play until the conclusion of the 2016-17 season before retiring from play at the end of the season.
Among his career accolades include earning the AHL's Best Goaltending Duo Award (2003), and appearing in the AHL All-Star Game (2005). In his NHL career, MacDonald appeared in 133 NHL games, recording a 44-61-15 record with two shutouts, a 3.00GAA, and a 0.902% save average. He appeared in no NHL playoff games. |
