Carolina Hurricanes alternate captain Jordan Staal, the youngest of the three brothers who have made careers as National Hockey League regulars, played in his 700th game on Sunday.
Feel old reading that? Try this: Staal just turned 28 two months ago, yet he is the fourth most-senior member of the Hurricanes, and the next youngest guy on the list is Jay McClement, who turns 34 in February.
Just over 100 active players in the NHL have played 700 games. Staal became number 104 on Sunday, one game after another of those players, Lee Stempniak, played in his 800th game.
