Gomez is a two-time Stanley Cup Champion, winning hockey's greatest prize with the New Jersey Devils in 2000 and 2003. 2000 was also Gomez's first season in the NHL, and he was awarded the Calder Trophy as Rookie of the Year after putting up 70 points in 82 games.
Gomez's historic start in the NHL was overshadowed later in his career by a massive drop in his offensive play. In his second season with the Montreal Canadiens (2010-2011), Gomez managed just 38 points in 80 games, and major drop in production for him. It would only get worse from there. While Gomez continued to play in the NHL until 2016, he was never able to get his point-production ability back on track, and bounced around from team to team before retiring.
