Zubov was only nominated for the Norris Trophy once (meaning he finished in the top three) and was only named a post-season All-Star once but this is the player who has the most points amongst NHL Defenseman from Russia and in Stars history. Zubov was not just good on offense but was excellent in stripping opponents of the puck, a stat that perhaps should exist on the back of a hockey card!
He would also be a major force for Dallas’ Stanley Cup win in 1999, and full respect came in 2019 when he was inducted to the Hockey Hall of Fame. Three years later, the Stars retired his number 56.
