Phil Kessel's Ironman Streak coming to an end?
Is Phil Kessel's impressive Ironman Streak coming to an abrupt end!?
Kessel's streak began way back on November 3rd, 2009, when he was a member of the Toronto Maple Leafs.
This season, the veteran became the first player in NHL history to play in 1000 consecutive games, and became the all-time �'Ironman'', which currently stands at 1,016.
However, according to Sportsnet's Elliotte Friedman, Kessel's Ironman streak could be nearing an end:
In Vegas' last game against the Buffalo Sabres, Kessel only appeared in a handleful of shifts. Including just two in the second period, and the Sabres scored during both of them.
Head coach Bruce Cassidy discussed Kessel's recent play:
In the last 12 games the Golden Knights have been outscored 13-3 with Kessel on the ice.
Kessel, 35, has 6 goals and 6 assists in 34 games this season. He also sits 32 points away from 1000 in his NHL career.
