In a total of 1136 NHL games (main round and playoffs) he collected 789 points scorer for the Edmonton Oilers , Buffalo Sabers , New York Islanders and Pittsburgh Penguins . He also won the Stanley Cup with the Penguins in 2009 .
Before the end of his career he was most recently under contract with HC Slovan Bratislava in the Continental Hockey League .
Career
Miroslav Šatan began his career in the offspring of HC Topoľčany and made his debut for this in the 1991/92 season, when he completed nine games in the 1st SNHL , in which he scored two goals and an assist. Then he moved to HC Dukla Trenčín . There he played the seasons 1992/93 and 1993/94. At Dukla Trenčín he played with Pavol Demitra, among others . In the 1993 NHL Entry Draft , he was drawn by the Edmonton Oilers in the fifth round in 111th place.
The season 1994/95 played Šatan in North America in a total of four different farm teams . In the following season he was allowed to ice for Edmonton in the National Hockey League . He gave the first assist in the first game against the Philadelphia Flyers and the first goal a week later against the Vancouver Canucks .
In 1997, Šatan was transferred to the Buffalo Sabers for Barrie Moore and Craig Millar . He was quickly able to assert himself in the new team. He finished the 1997/98 season as the team's second-best scorer. He completed his best season in the 1998/99 season . In 81 games, the regular season, he scored 40 goals and 26 assists. He finished the plus / minus rating with a value of +24. In the 1999/2000 season he was back in top form and made it to the All-Star Team as the only Buffalo Sabers player. With 67 points scorer (33 goals and 34 assists) and a plus / minus rating of +16, he was the Sabers' best scorer of the season.
With a total of 62 points (29 goals and 33 assists) he was again the best scorer of the Sabers in the 2000/01 season . He was also one of eleven attacking players in the NHL who have scored more than 100 goals in the past three seasons. After the departure of goalie Dominik Hašek , Buffalo does not make it into the playoffs for the first time in five seasons in the 2001/02 season . Šatan scored 37 goals and gave 36 assists.
The 2002/03 season was a very difficult one for the Sabers. The club owner was jailed for tax fraud, the club had no money and so players were late in getting their salaries. The results on the ice therefore left something to be desired. Nevertheless, Miroslav Šatan scored a total of 75 points scorer (26 goals and 49 assists), which is his career record to date.
During the NHL - Lockouts Šatan played for HC Slovan Bratislava and became Slovakian champions with them. Prior to the 2005/06 season , Šatan signed a three-year contract for $ 12.75 million with the New York Islanders .
The 2008-09 NHL season, Šatan stormed for the Pittsburgh Penguins and won his first Stanley Cup. In the 2009/10 season he did not find a new club and was only obliged in early January 2010 by the Boston Bruins until the end of the season. At the beginning of the following season he returned for a few games to Slovan Bratislava as he again could not find an employer in the NHL. It was not until January 2011 that he was signed by OHK Dynamo from the Continental Hockey League until the end of the season. He was then again without a club before he was committed again in September 2011 by Slovan Bratislava. A year later he extended his contract with Slovan for a year. In November 2012 he was seriously injured by Zdeno Chara during a KHL game against HC Lev Prague , so that he only completed 21 KHL games for Slovan. After the 2012/13 season, his contract was initially not renewed, but at the end of November 2013 he returned to the ice for Slovan.
In May 2014 he ended his career after the elimination of the Slovak national team at the 2014 World Cup . In 2019 he was inducted into the IIHF Hall of Fame together with his long-time national team colleague Žigmund Pálffy .
