Milestone for Coyotes defenseman Jakob Chychrun puts things into perspective

Coyotes defenseman Jakob Chychrun, who will still be 19 years old for another month, is on the heels of his 100th career NHL game played on Sunday against the Vancouver Canucks.

For Chychrun, who missed nearly the first three months of the season recovering from offseason knee surgery, the journey back from injury was an arduous one.

"It was tough, obviously, with how it happened and when it happened," Chychrun said. "It was unfortunate, but I got the things done that we needed to get done and went to work right away. I worked hard to get back as soon as I possibly could without rushing it.
