PHILADELPHIA — Philadelphia Flyers defenseman Keith Yandle has broken the NHL record by playing in his 965th consecutive game.
The 35-year-old Yandle passed the previous mark set by Doug Jarvis, who played 964 straight games over his entire career from Oct. 8, 1975, to Oct. 10, 1987.
The three-time All-Star is in his first season with the Flyers and was on the ice for the opening face-off against the New York Islanders on Tuesday night.
Yandle was paired with Ivan Provorov to start the game.
