Phil Kessel is the new Ironman of the NHL after playing in his 990th consecutive game
Phil Kessel is the new Ironman of the NHL. The 35-year-old winger set the record for the most consecutive games played in NHL history on Tuesday as his Vegas Golden Knights team took on the San Jose Sharks.
The veteran forward has not missed a game since November 3 of 2009. He overtook defenseman Keith Yandle for the top spot after Yandle’s streak was cut short last season when he was healthy scratched by the Philadelphia Flyers.
