When the Dallas Stars take on the Montreal Canadiens tonight, it will be a special one for Stars alternate captain Jason Spezza. The veteran will be playing in his 1000th career game, something only a handful over 300 players have done since the NHL was founded 100 years ago.
To put this milestone in perspective, Spezza has teammates that grew up watching him play in the NHL:
“I wanted the mural on my wall and I wanted it to have a Senators logo. And the one name I requested was Jason Spezza,” Dickinson said earlier this month.
