Not many players reach the 1,000 NHL games milestone — only 378 players in the history of the NHL have ever done it. It’s even rarer to do so all with the same team, a milestone only 75 of those reached.
Tonight, Jamie Benn will become No. 379 and No. 76 respectively as he plays his 1000th game for the Dallas Stars, only the second in franchise history to do so after Mike Modano:
“I think the best part about it all is that I’ve done it with one organization. I take a lot of pride in putting that jersey on every night, and I think that’s probably what’s most special to me,” said Benn.
