Seemingly the Cal Ripken Jr. of hockey, Patrick Marleau’s workhorse mentality and ability to play in every game, even at the age of 36, continued in his 18th NHL season.
For the seventh consecutive season, Marleau played in every contest, scoring 25 goals and adding 23 assists to his remarkable career. He now has 1,411 career regular season games played and has 1,036 points under his belt. His average ice time of 19:02 in the regular season was the second-most among forwards on the team, and among San Jose Sharks who played in at least 50 games, he had the least amount of penalty minutes, along with Matt Nieto, with a slim 10 on the entire campaign.
