Former M hockey star Cogliano reaches amazing NHL milestone

Submitted by E.L. blue fan on

Former Michigan hockey player Andrew Cogliano just became only the 2nd player in NHL history to start his career with 700 consecutive games played. This means that in his entire career to date he has never missed a game due to injury (knock on wood) nor been a healthy scratch. 

He has a ways to go to become number one all time though. Doug Jarvis played in the first 924 games of his career back in the 70s/80s.

Doug Jarvis record is 964 games (says so in the twitter link).

 

265 games to go 3.25 seasons. Hopefully we can meet back up to discuss in 2018!

He's fast approaching a place where we start ranking it against the greatest ironman streaks. If he were to play another 300 and pass 1000 straight, I'd personally put it above Ripken. Greatest ironman streak might be Glenn Hall... didn't miss an NHL game in 8 seasons... over 500 games straight as a mask less goalie.
