A couple of key players celebrated impressive milestones on this current road trip. The Carolina Hurricanes will certainly celebrate these accomplishments upon return to PNC Arena later this month.
Defenseman Brett Pesce and winger Jordan Martinook participated in their 500th NHL games.
Taking nothing away from Martinook’s achievement, but all of Pesce’s 500 games were played in a Hurricanes jersey.
Of course, Martinook has played 253 of the 500 games in the red and black. The other 247 games were played with the Arizona Coyotes, the team that drafted him.
Pesce’s Presence
Pesce has been a staple of the defensive group since entering the NHL in 2015.
