Detroit Red Wings highlight Manny Legace as best No. 34

As the Detroit Red Wings prepare for the 2026-27 season, they spotlight goaltender Manny Legace as the top player to wear jersey No. 34. Legace, a key contributor during his tenure, holds the ninth-most victories in franchise history with 112 wins and was part of the 2001-02 Stanley Cup-winning team. Although he began his NHL career elsewhere, Legace gained recognition in Detroit, especially during the 2000-01 season when he earned a starting role due to strong performances. Following a series of stints with the Red Wings, he later played for the St. Louis Blues and has since transitioned into a role with the New Jersey Devils as a goaltending scout and development coach. The Red Wings' opening night is 34 days away.
