Winger Radim Vrbata is set to play in his 1,000th game tonight against the Senators.

“You know it’s coming,” he said. “There’s some emotion. Obviously, it’s a huge honor. Big milestone, and I’m happy that I’ll be one of the few that gets to do it.”

Vrbata has played for six franchise, and the majority of his games (493) have been with the Coyotes.

“He’s been a good player for a long time,” coach Dave Tippett said.
