FRISCO -- For one last time, the Stars and Jason Spezza will celebrate him playing 1,000 NHL games, this time Saturday afternoon when Dallas hosts Nashville.
Spezza hit the milestone last week in Montreal, as the Stars were amid a six-game East coast road trip, delaying a ceremony in front of the home crowd at the American Airlines Center. Spezza will be presented with the customary silver stick given to players when they hit 1,000 games.
Spezza has already celebrated the accomplishment with the team (they went to dinner in Montreal together), to reporters (he answered plenty of questions in Montreal about the milestone), and with opposing fans (Canadiens fans gave Spezza a standing ovation when the team recognized the feat on the video board).
