Hockey legend Jacques Plante previously held the record, recording his 300th win in his 521st NHL game. Vasilevskiy also achieved this feat faster than goalies like Sergei Bobrovsky (541 games), Andy Moog (543 games), Marc-Andre Fleury (547 games), and Martin Brodeur (548 games).
This shows how outstanding of a career Vasilevskiy has had, and at 30 years old, he still has plenty of time to build on it from here.
