[edit] Playing career

Drafted in the 4th round, 108th overall by the Calgary Flames in the 1998 NHL Entry Draft, he played four games with Calgary before moving to the Pittsburgh Penguins. In 2006, he was awarded the Baz Bastien Memorial Trophy as top goaltender in the American Hockey League after achieving 30 wins in 49 games with Pittsburgh's AHL farm team in Wilkes-Barre. In October 2006, the Vancouver Canucks claimed him via waivers, where served as backup to Roberto Luongo.

On February 20, 2007 Sabourin achieved his first NHL win in 12 career games when the Canucks defeated the Anaheim Ducks by 3–2 in Overtime.

On April 25, 2007, he made his playoff debut during the last 10 minutes of the third period when Roberto Luongo was pulled after Anaheim scored their 4th goal in the first game of the series. Anaheim scored their 5th goal on Sabourin during the final minute of the game, ending with a score of 5–1.

On May 3, 2007, he made his second playoff appearance in the first few minutes of overtime with the Vancouver Canucks facing elimination in Game Five against the Anaheim Ducks. He made five saves before being replaced back by Luongo, who was delayed by what was thought to be equipment problems. However after the game it was revealed Luongo had an untimely case of diarrhea.^[1] The Canucks later lost the game 2–1.

On July 1, 2007, Sabourin was signed by the Pittsburgh Penguins once again as a free agent.[1]
