In the 1993 playoffs, Roy went 16-4 and had a GAA of 2.13, winning his 2nd Stanley Cup with the Canadiens and his 2nd Conn Smythe Trophy.

This saw Roy earn his 3rd career Stanley Cup ring. Roy would continue to provide solid goaltending to a deep Avalanche team that routinely went deep into the playoffs. In 2001 playoffs, Roy went 16-7, with a career best 1.70 GAA, as the Avalanche won their 2ndStanley Cup (Roy’s 4th) and saw Roy win his 3rd Conn Smythe Trophy, an NHL record.

Prior to the 2013/14 season, Roy returned to the Avalanche as the team’s head coach, a position he currently holds. In his first season as an NHL head coach, he guided an underdog Avalanche team to a 51-12-2 record, earning him the Jack Adams Award as the NHL’s Coach of the Year.
