Patrick Marleau tied Gordie Howe's mark of 1,767 games played on Saturday night, when the San Jose Sharks played the Minnesota Wild.
On Monday night, health permitting, he will set a new NHL record, against the Vegas Golden Knights.
It will add to a lengthy list of accomplishments, of course, for the 41-year-old Marleau, who had 566 goals headed into Saturday night's game, to go along with 1,196 points, three All-Star appearances and two Olympic gold medals for Canada in 2010 and 2014.
"Just first and foremost is loving the game and I just love being out there and playing," Marleau said Thursday as he approached Howe's record.
