Florida Panthers defenseman Keith Yandle played his 915th consecutive game Saturday night when he suited up against the Carolina Hurricanes. In doing so, he now stands alone with the second-longest ironman streak in NHL history.
The veteran blue-liner eclipsed Garry Unger's mark of 914, which he tied Thursday. Doug Jarvis holds the record at 964.
Here's the top five all time:
Player | Consecutive games |
---|---|
Doug Jarvis | 964 |
Keith Yandle* | 915 |
Garry Unger | 914 |
Patrick Marleau* | 900 |
Phil Kessel* | 891 |

Yandle hasn't missed a game since the 2008-09 season.
