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.
