Sergei Bobrovsky has a chance to set an NHL goaltending record Tuesday when Toronto hosts the Utah Mammoth. A victory would take him past Henrik Lundqvist for the most regular-season wins by a goalie born outside North America, NHL.com reported.

Both goalies have 459 regular-season victories, according to their official NHL career records. Bobrovsky was born in Russia and Lundqvist in Sweden.

Maple Leafs senior executive adviser Mats Sundin told NHL.com he supported bringing Bobrovsky to Toronto because he believes an elite goalie can strengthen the confidence of an entire team. Sundin played alongside Lundqvist for Sweden.

Bobrovsky is scheduled to start Tuesday at Scotiabank Arena. His first 10 appearances for Toronto have produced a 3-5-2 record, a 3.29 goals-against average and an .885 save percentage.
