Dave Rogalski is a professional goaltending coach hired by the New Jersey Devils. Rogalski was with the St. Louis Blues in 2018-2019 when they would begin January as the worst team in the NHL, later going on to win the Stanley Cup that same season under the steady performance of goaltender Jordan Binnington.
Dave Rogalski Career Achievements
In 2018-2019, the St. Louis Blues were the worst team in the NHL at the beginning of January. As we all know, they would go on to right the ship, winning the Stanley Cup that same season. This was in large part due to tremendous goaltending from Jordan Binnington. Binnington started that season in the AHL, actually having been loaned to another team at one point during the year.
Rogalski at that time served as the goaltending development coach with the St. Louis Blues, working with Binnington (among others).

Goalies Dave Rogalski Has Worked With
Most notably, Rogalski is recognized in his biography on the New Jersey Devils website as having worked with Jordan Binnington during the 2018-2019 season. Rogalski is extremely well known in close knit goaltending circles, with professional goalies flocking to Minnesota for their summer time training and the chance to work 1 on 1 with Rogalski.
Below is a list of goalies Rogalski has worked with both during his professional obligations as well as during off-season training at home in Minnesota. We use various methods to verify goalies that have trained with any coach, not in an attempt to credit their work as thanks to any coach, but for entertainment purposes.

Dave Rogalski is one of the best kept secrets in goaltending, which we wrote about here. While Dave may not tell you he’s a tech guru, he is one of the first goalie coaches that I met that was looking to improve his goalies through video analysis.
