Ilya Bryzgalov, former starting goalie for the Coyotes, had a high asking-price that Phoenix could not meet. They shipped his rights to Philadelphia and re-signed back-up goalie Jason LaBarbera to a two-year, $2.5 million contract.

Lightning last season, will be given a shot at being a #1 goaltender this coming season.

Ilya Bryzgalov, who’s rights were recently acquired from the Phoenix Coyotes for the rights to AHLer Matt Clackson and a 2012 third round draft selection, was signed to a 9-year, $51 million contract just after the two trades were approved by the NHL.

hing is that Phoenix is converting their scoring chances when they need them.
Goaltender Ilya Bryzgalov has personally benefited better than anyone on the roster from the arrival of Tippett. His 26-31-6 record and 2.98 GAA was nothing too impressive last season, but he has really found his stride in 2009-10. His 40 wins places him just behind New Jersey's Martin Brodeur for tops in the league, and his 2.31 GAA places him fifth in the league. Add a sensational .920 save percentage, and Bryzgalov will be a shoe-in for a Vezina Trophy nomination, along with consideration for the Hart Trophy.

eem to last long.
The next night, the Blues threw 32 shots at Phoenix Coyotes goaltender Ilya Bryzgalov, who stopped every single one in a 2-0 blanking of the Blues. Long-time Blues-killer Tomas Vokoun displayed a similar achievement two nights later in a 34-save effort en route to the Panthers snubbing the Blues 4-0 at Scottrade Center. Being shutout two games in a row is not something that Head Coach Andy Murray has expected out of his club.
