and improved to a 25-point campaign in 44 games in 1998–99, his third season with the team.
Garnering attention from North America
, but undrafted
by an NHL team, he bounced around the minor leagues in 1999–00, playing the majority of the season with the Springfield Falcons
of the AHL.
Streit returned to the Nationalliga and spent five seasons with ZSC Lions
after his brief North American stint. He helped the Lions to a Swiss championship in 2001, as well as back-to-back IIHF Continental Cups in 2001 and 2002. After a 12-goal, 36-point season in 48 games in 2003–04, Streit was drafted in the 2004 NHL Entry Draft
, 262nd overall, by the Montreal Canadiens
at 26 years old (players are typically drafted at the age of 18).
As the 2004-05 NHL season was lost to a lockout, Streit remained with the Lions for one last season and posted a Swiss career high 14 goals, 29 assists and 43 points in 44 games. In 2005–06, Streit made his NHL debut with the Canadiens, appearing in 48 games and recording 11 points. On March 16, 2006, in a game against the Carolina Hurricanes
, Streit was joined by the only two other Swiss players playing in the NHL at the time, Montreal goalie David Aebischer
and Carolina goalie Martin Gerber
— a historic game for Swiss hockey.
Streit continued to make strides the following season, improving to 36 points in 76 games before emerging as an elite NHL defenceman in his third season with Montreal. In 2007–08, he finished third in league scoring among defencemen (behind Nicklas Lidström
and Sergei Gonchar
) with 62 points in 81 games. Streit was made the Canadiens' nomination for the Bill Masterton Trophy, awarded for perseverance and dedication to hockey; he did not, however, make the final cut.
Coming off a breakout campaign, Streit became an unrestricted free agent on July 1, 2008, and signed a 5-year, $20.5 million contract with the New York Islanders
. Upon signing with the Islanders, Streit became the second highest paid Swiss sportsman to Roger Federer
, earning more than top national soccer players. During his first season with the Islanders, he was selected to appear in his first NHL All-Star Game in 2009 as a reserve. In his first season with the team, Streit led the Islanders in scoring with 56 points, becoming only the second defenseman to lead his team in scoring since the lockout. The first was Ľubomír Višňovský
, who led the Los Angeles Kings
with 67 points in 2005–06.
On September 27, 2010 Streit tore his shoulder labrum and rotator cuff after being checked into the boards by teammate Matt Moulson
during a scrimmage. He was sidelined for the entire 2010-11 season.
Streit became the first Swiss-born team captain in NHL history, when the Islanders appointed him to the position in September, 2011.
in 1996
. He scored one goal in five games as Switzerland finished ninth. In 1997
, he scored two goals and Switzerland improved to seventh.

, Streit appeared in his first of ten consecutive World Championships. Playing as the host nation, Switzerland finished a surprising fourth, falling to the Czech Republic
in the bronze-medal game. He scored an international career-best seven points in seven games in 2005
, as Switzerland advanced to the quarter-finals, losing to Sweden 2-1.
Streit competed in his first Winter Olympics in 2002
in Salt Lake City. He scored two points in four preliminary games as Switzerland finished 11th.
As Streit was named team captain at the 2006 Winter Olympics
in Turin
, Switzerland improved to sixth, topping international giants Czech Republic and Canada in their preliminary games. Streit scored the game winning goal against the Czechs to defeat them 3-2 in the Swiss' second round-robin game, then assisted on the second goal of a 2-0 upset against Canada two days later. Following the stunning Swiss victory over Canada, an incredulous Streit admitted, "I never thought we could do that." In the quarter-finals, Streit scored in the first period to tie the game 1-1, but the Swiss were overpowered by Sweden 6-2.
