Yandle gains sole possession of 2nd place on NHL's ironman list
by Josh Gold-Smith from on (#5H17C)
Florida Panthers defenseman Keith Yandle played his 915th consecutive game Saturday night when he suited up against the Carolina Hurricanes. In doing so, he now stands alone with the second-longest ironman streak in NHL history.
The veteran blue-liner eclipsed Garry Unger's mark of 914, which he tied Thursday. Doug Jarvis holds the record at 964.
Here's the top five all time:
| Player | Consecutive games |
|---|---|
| Doug Jarvis | 964 |
| Keith Yandle* | 915 |
| Garry Unger | 914 |
| Patrick Marleau* | 900 |
| Phil Kessel* | 891 |
*Active player
Yandle hasn't missed a game since the 2008-09 season.
