Two NHL players reached 1,000 career points mere minutes apart on Monday night.
Claude Giroux tallied two points in the first period of the Ottawa Senators' home game against the Carolina Hurricanes to reach 1,000 for his career. Not long after Giroux got there, Dallas Stars forward Joe Pavelski joined him in accomplishing the same feat.
It marked the first time two players scored their 1,000th career point on the same night, according to ESPN Stats & Information.
Giroux entered the night with 998 points, scored the game's opening goal at 5:51 and notched the primary assist on Tim Stutzle's goal at the 17:26 mark.
