Cristobal Huet was born on September 3, 1975, in Saint-Martin-d'Hères, France, and became the first French netminder — and second French-trained player overall — to appear in the NHL. That distinction alone set him apart before he ever made a save at the highest level.
Huet was selected by the Los Angeles Kings in the seventh round, 18th pick, of the 2001 NHL Draft. Over a career that spanned 272 NHL games, he posted 129 wins, 90 losses, and 21 overtime losses, with a goals-against average of 2.46, a save percentage of .913, and 24 shutouts. He played within the organizations of the Los Angeles Kings, Montreal Canadiens, Washington Capitals, and Chicago Blackhawks.
After his NHL career, Huet played in Switzerland with HC Lugano and HC Fribourg-Gottéron before transitioning into coaching. He currently serves as a goaltender coach for Lausanne HC of the National League.
