Stars' Cogliano out with injury for 1st time in 12-year career

Andrew Cogliano is human after all.

The Dallas Stars' veteran forward will miss Thursday's game against the Los Angeles Kings with an upper-body injury, marking the first non-disciplinary absence of his 12-year career, according to Mike Heika of NHL.com.

Cogliano's ironman streak for consecutive games played ended at 830 contests last season when he was suspended two tilts for a high hit on Adrian Kempe. It was the fourth-longest such streak in NHL history. Thursday will mark his first missed game since that suspension.

The 31-year-old has four goals and 10 assists on the season, putting him on pace for the worst statistical campaign of his career.
