NHL: The Best Player at Every Jersey Number, #21-30

#23: Brian Bellows, Forward

Brian Bellows played for the Minnesota North Stars, Montreal Canadiens, Tampa Bay Lightning, Mighty Ducks of Anaheim, and Washington Capitals. His career totals are 485 goals and 537 assists for 1,022 points in 1,188 games during his 17-year career.

Bellows recorded 9 hat tricks, was a 3-time all-star, won a Stanley Cup with the ’93 Canadiens, and posted career-highs in goals (55) and points (99) in the 1989-90 season.

He was a solid top-six player who always contributed offensively. He was not flashy by any means, but was a player who always showed up, did something to help the team every night, and went about his way. Good, solid NHL player.

#24: Bob Probert, Forward

Bob Probert played for the Detroit Red Wings and Chicago Blackhawks. Playing 16 years in the NHL saw Probert record 163 goals and 221 assists for 384 points. He did have 3,300 penalty minutes and  Probert set a career-high 398 penalty minutes in 1987-88.

He appeared in only one all-star game, coming in the 1988-89 season with the Red Wings. Probert is 5th all-time in penalty minutes with 3,300, thanks to his 285 NHL fights.

Probert was not feared because of his offensive production but because of his stature when he stepped on the ice. Although he was known for his fists, he did produce offense and produced offense in the playoffs as well, recording 16 goals and 32 assists for 48 points, and 274 penalty minutes, in 81 games.  Probert retired from the game on November 16, 2002.
