Stan Mikita became a star as centre of the famed "Scooter Line", with right winger Ken Wharram and left wingers Ab McDonald and Doug Mohns.

With 408 of these coming in 63 games during the 1991-92 NHL season, Peluso became one of only 4 players in NHL history to have accumulated 400 PIM or more in a single season.

He notched 43 victories in 74 games (both NHL rookie and Blackhawks team records), finishing the season with a 2.47 GAA and 4 shutouts. He also led the league in Save Percentage (.910) and received the Calder Memorial Trophy for outstanding play by a rookie, the Vezina Trophy for best goaltender, and the William M. Jennings Trophy for fewest team goals-against.
