Nick Foligno discusses family and leadership ahead of his 1,000th game

CHICAGO — For years, Bobby and Brett Hull stood alone as the only father-son duo to skate in 1,000 career NHL games. They’ll have some company come Tuesday in the same city Bobby called home for nearly a decade and a half.

Once the puck drops for Tuesday’s Bruins-Blackhawks tilt, Nick Foligno will become the 364th player to join the 1,000-game club. He’ll become the second member of the Foligno family to achieve the illustrious milestone, joining his father, Mike, who touched the ice for 1,018 career games during his 16-year career.

Foligno enjoyed an eventful last few weeks, highlighted by his return to Columbus on Mar.
