WATCH: Boston plays touching video for Foligno's 1000 games

Nick Foligno played in the 1000th game of his NHL career last month.

But rather than celebrating his achievement at that time, the Bruins decided to wait until tonight's game against the Columbus Blue Jackets.

Foligno served as captain of the Columbus squad and spent most of his career with them, so it only made sense to highlight his 1000th game tonight.

Before being presented with the famous silver stick, Nick Foligno had an emotional video tribute played for him.

So many of his former teammates, coaches and family members congratulated the veteran.

Check out the tribute video here:
