Turris passes Yashin on Ottawa Senators Ironman list
Senators centre Kyle Turris. (AFP Files0WASHINGTON, D.C. - Kyle Turris is making up for lost time.
By suiting up in his 293rd consecutive game Wednesday night, the 26-year old Senators centre moved past Alexei Yashin to establish the second longest Ironman streak in franchise history.
Turris' determination to play through pain stems, in part, from the fact his career got off to a staggered start in Phoenix, where he had a lengthy contract dispute, injuries and troubles cracking the lineup when healthy.
