Phil talks about playing in the NHL for a long time. It was0:50.
Phil Kessel is the only one.
On Tuesday, he became the NHL's new "iron man" after scoring his 400th career goal in the Vegas Golden Knights 4-2 win over the San Jose. The 35-year-old has appeared in 970 games in a row.
The night was capped by his new teammates chanting his name in a celebratory locker room. It was a pleasure to be a part of it. I'm happy to have gotten the victory.
It didn't take long for the record to be broken. The game began with William Carrier and Nicolas Roy in attendance. After a break in play, he went back to the bench. During the broadcast, he could be seen smiling as he looked up at the video board.
During the first television timeout, the sharks acknowledged the record of Kessel. The crowd appreciated the gesture of the Knights winger.
It was pleasant. I think it's great. They do not need to do that. "I appreciate it out of them, but I didn't play the previous three seasons with them.
The Golden Knights' Phil Kessel scored his first goal of the season and his first with the team in the first period. He is the 12th American-born player to reach 400 career goals.
William said it was pure happiness from everyone. Everyone was happy. It was great to see it come in.
On Monday, in the game in which he moved into a tie withYandle, the goal was wiped off because of an obstruction. This time, there was no doubt.
The Golden Knights were able to score three times in the third period to get the victory. Adin Hill made 29 saves in his first game since being traded from the Sharks to Vegas.
Hill thinks all the boys wanted to support him. "We didn't have the second period that we wanted to have and then we kind of had a little talk in the locker room and just kind of a gut check." The results showed after the third period.
He appeared in 955 straight games, a streak that began in March of 2009.
After retiring before the start of the 2022-23 season,Yandle extended his streak to over 1000 games. The record for the most games played by a player in a row was held by Doug Jarvis, who played 962 games in a row.
He was 8 days old when the streak came to an end.
The iron man of the NHL was held by Jarvis for nearly 35 years before he was replaced byYandle. There was a belief that the reign could be short lived. Around the time the record was broken, Kessel had already played in over 1000 games.
