San Jose’s Patrick Marleau has broken Red Wings great Gordie Howe’s record of the most games played in the NHL. Marleau appeared in his 1,768th career game last night when the Sharks faced off against the Vegas Golden Knights. The 41-year old has played 21 of his 23 seasons with San Jose.
Howe played his final NHL game against the Red Wings as a member of the Hartford Whalers in April 1980.
