MONTREAL – By the time he decides to hang up his skates for good, Andrei Markov’s name will be forever etched alongside the exalted company of the likes of Maurice Richard, Guy Lafleur, Guy Lapointe and Guy Carbonneau.
At 37 years old, Markov continued his upward trajectory through the ranks of the Montreal Canadiens’ record books in 2015-16. Not only did the veteran defenseman surpass the 40-point plateau for the seventh time in his career, he also did so without missing a single game this season.
Nevertheless, the stoic leader still expected more from himself.
