Andrew Cogliano dealt with his share of physical issues in the first 697 games to start his career, so what's a little more adversity to reach 700?
The latest scare for the NHL's ironman came Wednesday when he took a hit along the boards in the final minutes of the Ducks' 8-3 win against Calgary and left the game, his 698th straight. But he appears to be fine, a team spokesman said Thursday.
Cogliano got two assists in the win and earlier said that the streak, the sixth-longest consecutive games played streak in NHL history, has gone on for so long he's run out of words.
