Alex Goligoski has spent most of his career under the radar, but on Thursday, he was able to hit a milestone that not many players have ever done.
Playing just one game in the NHL seems tough, but the 37-year-old defenseman has now played 1,000 games in the top hockey league in the world and feels very fortunate that he was able to do so, especially considering some of his thoughts halfway to this mark.
“When I got to 500, I was like ‘I can’t believe people play 1,000, that’s crazy.’ And here we are.” Goligoski said prior to Thursday’s game against the Vancouver Canucks.
