New Jersey Devils center Travis Zajac has etched his name in franchise history. On Sunday, Zajac skated in his 1,000th career game.
As if this accomplishment wasn’t special enough, the 35-year-old has played all 1,000 of his games as a member of the Devils organization.
Zajac is now the 25th active NHL player to get to 1,000 games, accomplishing the feat just one day after the great Sidney Crosby skated in his 1,000th career game.
Zajac took a solo lap before the game began, which he revealed was a surprise to him and made him feel like a rookie again.
