How many people want to see Ty Conklin traded to Boston or Philadelphia before Jan. 1? Conklin, a 33-year-old native of Phoenix, Arizona, is a goaltender for the St. Louis Blues. He also has the distinction of being the only player to have played in all three outdoor NHL games. In all three, he was also not his respective team’s primary goaltender within a month of each game. If he doesn’t find a way to get himself into a Bruin or Flyer jersey by the New Year, his streak will sadly end.

In the 2003 Heritage Classic, Conklin was in net for the Edmonton Oilers in front of 57,167 fans. Conklin was in net for Edmonton as they lost to the Montreal Canadiens 4-3. Fast forward to 2008 when the Winter Class series officially began, Conklin was a member of the Pittsburgh Penguins who faced off against the Buffalo Sabres at Ralph Wilson Stadium to a crowd of 71,217. Conklin allowed a single goal to Colby Armstrong in the first period, and the game eventually went to a shootout, where he saved two of three shots for the win.

Conklin signed with the Red Wings after the 2007-08 season as a backup, but Osgood’s poor performance (and subsequent groin injury) gave Conklin the starting job at his third Classic. Detroit played the Chicago Blackhawks at Wrigley Field with 40,818 watching. He allowed three goals in the first period, but shut the door afterwards as Detroit took a 6-3 lead. He surrendered a meaningless goal with ten seconds left in the game and took home his second-straight victory in outdoor games.

If Conklin wants to continue his winning streak, he’ll be best served by moving to Philadelphia. The visiting team has one all three Classics to date, and while the Flyers are by far not a favorite to win at Fenway Park, fate seems to be on Conklin’s side. Of course it will be just one more team to add to his resume that’s already six cities long over the course of a decade, but his career is not going to take him much further than he’s already gone. Everyone wants to leave a legacy. For now, the Winter Classics belong to Ty Conklin.
