Jay Wells

Wells had the reputation for being a rugged defenseman which is why the LA Kings selected him with their 1st-round pick, 16th overall in 1979. Wells would spend the next nine NHL seasons clearing the front of the Kings' crease with great success before moving on to the Philadelphia Flyers, where he played two seasons. He then had a two-year stopover with the Buffalo Sabres before heading on to the bright lights of Broadway where he suited up for the New York Rangers for four years. The highlight of his career came in 1994 when, as a member of the Rangers, he helped the club end a 54-year drought, winning the Stanley Cup in a hard-fought, seven-game series against the Vancouver Canucks. He played a total of 1211 games in the NHL with Los Angeles Kings, Philadelphia Flyers, Buffalo Sabres, New York Rangers, St. Louis Blues and Tampa Bay Lightning.
