Martin Biron is remembered by most hockey fans for his time with the Buffalo Sabres. In 300 games over nine seasons with the team, he had a 134-115-29 record and .909 SV%. His time with the team ran out due to the emergence of Ryan Miller, but nonetheless, he still had a solid tenure with Buffalo.

Biron would end up being dealt to the Philadelphia Flyers in the middle of the 2006-07 season and played three seasons there. After spending the 2009-10 season with the New York Islanders, he signed a two-year, $1.75 million deal with the Rangers. In a backup role, his first season with the team was very solid, as he sported an 8-6-0 record with a notable .923 SV%. His numbers the next season went down a bit, as he had a .904 SV%, but he still had a 12-6-2 record.

His solid overall play led the Rangers to sign him to a two-year, $2.6 million contract during the 2012 off-season. Yet, he would only play a total of eight games over those two seasons. His tenure ended during the 2012-13 season when he was put on waivers by the team. Not willing to play for the Hartford Wolf Pack, Biron opted to retire. It was a hard way to see the veteran go out, but still, he had himself a solid career overall. In 508 career games, he had a 230-191-27 record, 2.61 GAA and .910 SV%.
