At the end of the game, Marty Turco raised his mask to praise Patrick.[1] Prior to the game, Rogatien Vachon presented Roy with a silver goalie stick. Jim Gregory, vice-president of operations for the NHL presented Roy with a crystal sculpture.
  • April 6, 2003: In a game against the St. Louis Blues, Patrick Roy played the last regular season game of his career. The Avalanche won the game by a score of 5–2. It was Roy’s 1,029th game, and his 551st victory.[2]
