	Mike Richter - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Mike Richter (born September 22, 1966 in Abington, Pennsylvania) is a former NHL goaltender.
		Vanbiesbrouck was traded before the 1993-94 season and Richter had his first season as the team's number one goaltender, posting a career-best 42 wins and 2.57 goals-against average as the Rangers won the Presidents Trophy.
		His play was a key factor in the Rangers' Stanley Cup championship win over the Vancouver Canucks, becoming the eighth goaltender in history to post four shutouts in one playoff season, and over the next few years he would consistently be ranked among the world's top goaltenders.
