'''Ronald Frederick Bradley Tugnutt''' (born October 22, 1967) is a Canadian former professional [[ice hockey]] [[goaltender]]. Tugnutt played several seasons in the [[National Hockey League]] (NHL) with the [[Quebec Nordiques]], [[Edmonton Oilers]], [[Mighty Ducks of Anaheim]], [[Montreal Canadiens]], [[Ottawa Senators]], [[Pittsburgh Penguins]], [[Columbus Blue Jackets]], and [[Dallas Stars]]. While  a member of the Nordiques on March 21, 1991, Tugnutt set a modern-day NHL record for most saves in a regular-season game when he stopped 70 of 73 shots in a 3–3 tie with the [[Boston Bruins]].

After retiring as a player, Tugnutt served as the president, governor, and coach of the [[Central Canada Hockey League]]'s [[Kemptville 73's]].<ref>{{cite web |title=PRESS RELEASE - 73'S HAVE NEW OWNERSHIP {{!}} CJHL: Kemptville 73s Jr. A |url=http://cchlkemptville.pointstreaksites.com/view/cchlkemptville/news-424/news_485671 |website=cchlkemptville.pointstreaksites.com |publisher=Kemptville 73’s Jr “A” Hockey Club |access-date=4 August 2018 |language=en |date=11 May 2017}}</ref>

==Playing career==
===Early years===
Tugnutt was born in [[Scarborough, Ontario]]. As a youth, he played in the 1980 [[Quebec International Pee-Wee Hockey Tournament]] with a [[minor ice hockey]] team from Toronto.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.publicationsports.com/ressources/files/439/Joueurs_Pro.pdf|title=Pee-Wee players who have reached NHL or WHA|year=2018|website=Quebec International Pee-Wee Hockey Tournament|access-date=2019-01-16}}</ref>

Tugnutt played three seasons with the [[Peterborough Petes]] in the [[Ontario Hockey League]],<ref>{{cite web |title=Ron Tugnutt – Peterborough Petes |url=https://gopetesgo.com/ron-tugnutt |website=Peterborough Petes |access-date=12 April 2020 |language=en-CA}}</ref> and won the [[F. W. "Dinty" Moore Trophy]] for the rookie with the best [[goals against average]], followed by the [[Dave Pinkney Trophy]] for Top Team Goaltending,<ref>{{cite web |title=OHL Awards – Ontario Hockey League |url=https://ontariohockeyleague.com/ohl-awards/ |website=Ontario Hockey League |access-date=12 April 2020 |language=en-CA}}</ref> and was named to the OHL All Star team in 1987.<ref>{{cite web |title=Ron Tugnutt at eliteprospects.com |url=https://www.eliteprospects.com/player/67297/ron-tugnutt |website=www.eliteprospects.com |access-date=12 April 2020 |language=en}}</ref>

===NHL beginnings===
He was drafted by the [[Quebec Nordiques]] in the fourth round (81st overall) of the [[1986 NHL Entry Draft]]. He was primarily used as a backup during his first three pro seasons, bouncing up and down between the [[Halifax Citadels]] of the [[American Hockey League]] (AHL) and the parent club in Quebec City. During [[1990–91 NHL season]], Tugnutt played what would be a career-high 56 games for Quebec and established himself as a quality NHL starter despite playing for what was then the worst team in the league.

On March 21, 1991, Tugnutt stopped 70 of 73 shots to earn his team a 3–3 tie against the [[Boston Bruins]], the highest number of saves made in a regular season game in NHL history.<ref>''Statmuse'', [https://www.statmuse.com/nhl/ask/most-saves-in-one-game-in-nhl-history]</ref> His performance evoked such respect that after it was over, several Bruins players skated over to congratulate Tugnutt<ref>''New York Times'', [https://query.nytimes.com/gst/fullpage.html?res=9D0CEFDC1731F930A15750C0A967958260 March 21, 1991]</ref> while the Boston fans gave him a standing ovation.

In the midst of an inconsistent [[1991–92 NHL season]], and with the emergence of [[Stéphane Fiset]] as the Nordiques' number one goaltender, Tugnutt was demoted to the Nordiques' AHL affiliate. In exchange for [[Martin Ručinský]], he was soon traded to the [[Edmonton Oilers]] to serve as [[Bill Ranford]]'s backup. Tugnutt remained in this role until he was selected by the [[Mighty Ducks of Anaheim]] in the [[1993 NHL Expansion Draft|1993 expansion draft]]. In Anaheim, he split goaltending duties with [[Guy Hebert]].

Anaheim quickly settled on Hebert as their future starter, and the [[Montreal Canadiens]] decided that [[André Racicot]] and [[Les Kuntar]] were not adequately serving as [[Patrick Roy]]'s backup, so Tugnutt was acquired by the Canadiens in exchange for [[Stéphan Lebeau]]. Tugnutt's performance suffered; for Anaheim he had posted a .908 save percentage in 28 games, but for Montreal, he posted an .860 save percentage in eight games during the [[1993–94 NHL season|1993–94 season]].

During the 1994 [[Stanley Cup]] playoffs against the Bruins, Tugnutt started a game as Patrick Roy was recuperating from an [[appendectomy]], but he did not return to the Canadiens for the [[1995–96 NHL season|1995–96 season]], and was replaced by [[Patrick Labrecque]]. These experiences caused Tugnutt to ponder retirement.{{citation needed|date=April 2020}}

===Career breakthrough===
In 1995, Tugnutt signed a one-year deal with the [[Washington Capitals]], and subsequently spent the entire 1995–96 season with their AHL affiliate, the [[Portland Pirates]]. He was productive in Portland, helping lead the Pirates to the [[Calder Cup]] Finals.<ref>The AHL.com, [http://www.theahl.com/AHLNews96-97/apr23_ron.html Portland rejuvanates Tugnutt's career]</ref>

This strong performance caught the attention of the [[Ottawa Senators]]. Goaltending coach [[Phil Myre]] helped Tugnutt work on fundamentals, and gained confidence and improved his game each season. While in Ottawa, he went from fighting for the backup position with [[Mike Bales]] to splitting duties with starter [[Damian Rhodes]] the next two seasons, and became the team's undisputed starting goaltender by 1999.

On April 12, 1997, Tugnutt shutout the [[Buffalo Sabres]] in the final game of the regular season. Tugnutt's father had just died and immediately following the win Tugnutt pointed to the rafters to signify the win was for his father, in what became an iconic image of Tugnutt. This win propelled the Senators to their first playoff berth.<ref name="ottawacitizen.com">{{cite web|url=https://ottawacitizen.com/sports/hockey/team-tugnutt-relishes-time-together-as-a-hockey-family|title=Team Tugnutt relishes time together as a hockey family (with video)|date=11 November 2014|work=Ottawa Citizen}}</ref>

In [[1998–99 NHL season|1998–99]], Tugnutt had the best season of his career, and one of the best by an NHL goaltender in the modern era. He posted a league-best [[goals against average]] of 1.79, placed second in the league in save percentage at .925, had a career high in wins, and tied a career high in shutouts. This outstanding play, and an injury to [[Curtis Joseph]], gave Tugnutt the opportunity to play in the [[1999 NHL All-Star Game]].

The next season, Rhodes was shipped to the expansion [[Atlanta Thrashers]], giving Tugnutt sole possession of the starting job. However, he was unable to match his previous season and Ottawa traded him to the [[Pittsburgh Penguins]] for an experienced playoff goaltender, [[Tom Barrasso]].

After arriving in Pittsburgh, Tugnutt took over the starting job from [[Jean-Sébastien Aubin]] and helped lead Pittsburgh deep into the playoffs. Tugnutt was in goal for the May 4, 2000, playoff game against the [[Philadelphia Flyers]] in which he made 70 saves on 72 shots. The 72nd shot was a goal scored by [[Keith Primeau]] of the Flyers at 12:01 of the fifth [[overtime (ice hockey)|overtime]], winning the game for Philadelphia 2–1, the longest NHL game since the 1930s.

Following his performance with Pittsburgh, Tugnutt became one of the most sought-after [[free agent]] goaltenders on the market. Both Ottawa and Pittsburgh attempted to re-sign Tugnutt but were unable to match the lucrative contract offered by the expansion [[Columbus Blue Jackets]].<ref>''Post-Gazette'', [http://www.post-gazette.com/penguins/20000630pens2.asp Sens want Tugnutt Back, Tugnutt hot on free agent market]</ref><ref>Canoe Sports Slam Hockey, {{usurped|1=[https://archive.today/20120724085750/http://www.canoe.ca/HockeyColumbusArchive/jul4_tug.html Tugnutt Signs with Columbus]}}</ref>

During Columbus' inaugural season, Tugnutt was considered their backbone. Tugnutt's 22 wins broke another NHL record for most wins on an [[expansion team]], and his .917 save percentage was among the best in the league.<ref>The Sports Network, [http://www.sportsnetwork.com/default.asp?c=sportsnetwork&page=nhl/misc/canamucio_archive/crashin_net_nov22.htm Tugnutt was the backbone to Columbus]</ref>

The team's second season was not as impressive as the first. Tugnutt battled injuries and ended up sharing time with young netminder [[Marc Denis]]. General Manager [[Doug MacLean]] gave Denis the opportunity to be the sole starter on the club, and traded Tugnutt to the [[Dallas Stars]].<ref>''Hockey Informer'', [http://www.hockeyinformer.com/web/fantasy/editorials/editorial1.shtml Denis had potential to be starter]</ref>

In [[2002–03 NHL season|2002–03]] Tugnutt was the backup to [[Marty Turco]]. In January 2003, Turco suffered an ankle injury that allowed Tugnutt to start almost 20 straight games, and he posted back to back shutouts during that stretch. For the season, he played 31 games and posted a 15-10-5 record including four shutouts.

The [[2003–04 NHL season|2003–04]] season was possibly Tugnutt's toughest in the NHL, as by January he only received three starts. He was sent down to the minors for the first time in almost ten years to get some playing time with the [[Utah Grizzlies]]. Just five games in, Tugnutt pulled his groin and was out until after the All Star break.<ref>AllSports.com,[http://www.allsports.com/cgi-bin/showstory.cgi?story_id=47393 Tugnutt pulls groin in minors]</ref> Soon after, he was recalled to the Dallas Stars. After two solid starts, one of which was a shutout, Tugnutt received a break when Turco received a four-game suspension.<ref>ESPN, [https://www.espn.com/nhl/news/story?id=1768163 Turco Suspended 4 Games]</ref> He retired following the 2003–04 season.

===Post-retirement===
After the lockout, Tugnutt joined [[Canadian Broadcasting Corporation|CBC]] as a [[color commentator]] for ''[[Hockey Night in Canada]]''.<ref>SLAM! Sports, {{usurped|1=[https://archive.today/20120722023134/http://www.canoe.ca/Slam/Hockey/NHL/2005/10/07/1252602-sun.html Tugnutt Joins CBC as Commentator]}}</ref> From 2008–09 to 2009–10, Tugnutt served as the goaltending coach for the [[Ontario Hockey League|OHL's]] [[Oshawa Generals]]<ref>oshawagenerals.com, [http://www.oshawagenerals.com/Hockey_Staff_live.php Oshawa Generals Hockey Staff] {{webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090814210548/http://www.oshawagenerals.com/Hockey_Staff_live.php |date=2009-08-14 }}</ref> and was a goaltending consultant for the 2010 Canadian World Junior team.<ref>Hockey Canada, [http://www.hockeycanada.ca/index.php/ci_id/63191/ss_id/56000/la_id/1.htm FOURTEEN ELITE UNDER-20 AND UNDER-18 GOALTENDERS TO ATTEND FOURTH ANNUAL HOCKEY CANADA PROGRAM OF EXCELLENCE CAMP IN CALGARY, JUNE 11-14]</ref> Tugnutt's contract with the Generals was not renewed after a major front office shakeup in May 2010.<ref>''Oshawa Express'', [http://www.oshawaexpress.ca/story2863May122010.html Gens make big change]</ref> Tugnutt joined the Peterborough Petes coaching staff for the 2010–11 season. Tugnutt was a consultant with Hockey Canada until 2013 when that relationship ended. Tugnutt then moved behind the bench of his sons' team, the Kemptville 73's.<ref name="ottawacitizen.com"/>

==Off the ice==
Tugnutt is married to Lisa, and the couple have two sons, Jacob and Matthew. The family resides on Stoney Lake near [[Peterborough, Ontario]].

Tugnutt enjoys boating and traveling. In the summer of 1998, Tugnutt was involved in a severe boating accident, and it was suspected that he might miss out on training camp. Tugnutt healed and had the best season of his career, breaking the modern-day NHL record for lowest G.A.A. and coming second in the league in save percentage.<ref>Hockey Goalies, [http://www.hockeygoalies.org/bio/tugnutt.html Tugnutt Profile, and boating accident]</ref>

Tugnutt previously owned the [[Kemptville 73's]], a [[Junior ice hockey|Junior "A" ice hockey]] team, where he served as head coach, president and governor.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://cchlkemptville.pointstreaksites.com/view/cchlkemptville/team-67/management|title=Management - CJHL: Kemptville 73s Jr. A|website=cchlkemptville.pointstreaksites.com}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=http://cchlkemptville.pointstreaksites.com/view/cchlkemptville/team-67/hockey-operations|title=Hockey Operations - CJHL: Kemptville 73s Jr. A|website=cchlkemptville.pointstreaksites.com}}</ref><ref name="ottawacitizen.com"/> Tugnutt sold the team to an ownership group led by former teammate [[Jason York]].

==Honours and records==
* Modern-day record holder for most saves in a regular season game non-loss (stopped 70 of 73 shots in a 3–3 tie with the [[Boston Bruins]]; March 21, 1991).
* Holds [[Mighty Ducks of Anaheim]] record for most saves in a regular season game with 46, set against the [[Edmonton Oilers]] on November 21, 1993).

==International play==
After a disappointing 4-game sweep in the [[Season structure of the NHL|NHL playoffs]], Tugnutt was more than excited to play for [[Canada men's national ice hockey team|Team Canada]] in the [[1999 World Hockey Championships]]. The semi-final game was against the [[Czech Republic]] in which Canada lost after the game went undecided in overtime, ending in a shootout. This was Tugnutt's second appearance on Team Canada, also playing for them in 1993.<ref>''Ottawa Sun'', [https://web.archive.org/web/20000824071540/http://www.canoe.com/HockeyWorldChampionships99/may14_tug.html Shootout loss to Czechs]</ref>
