WASHINGTON — John Tavares played his 600th game on Thursday, becoming just the 14th player in Islanders history to hit that mark with the team.
“They obviously come by every so often; it’s hard to believe it’s at that point,” Tavares said. “Just try to treat it like every other one, play some good hockey and keep going with some of the good results we’ve had. I don’t know how much I’m going to reflect on 600, but pretty cool to get to that point and I don’t take it for granted.”
Tavares has been climbing the ranks on many Islander all-time lists already this season.
