In 1993, Healy was traded to the New York Rangers and won a Stanley Cup in his first season. After four years with the Rangers, Healy signed with the Toronto Maple Leafs before the 1997-98 season, where he backed up Curtis Joseph until he retired in 2001. Healy finished his NHL career playing a total of 437 regular season games and 108 playoff games.
