Andrew Brunette had a long and healthy career in the NHL where he was known throughout for his durability and consistency. Brunette also had a reputation for his accuracy as he was the leader in Shooting Percentage in the 2009/10 season and was in the top ten in that statistic five other seasons.
After playing nine seasons in the NHL (Washington, Nashville, Atlanta, and Minnesota), Andrew Brunette signed as a Free Agent with the Colorado Avalanche in for the 2005-06 Season. The Left Wing had already proven to be an adequate scorer, and in his first season in the Rocky Mountains, he secured a 63 Point Season, on par of what Colorado was hoping for him.
