Tonight the Toronto Maple Leafs are in Philadelphia to take on the Flyers, and no one is talking about Auston Matthews 50 goals. Instead the big topic is the Flyers sitting Keith Yandle after he played 989 games in a row.

The NHL loves ironman streaks. There was uproar when Andrew Cogliano was suspended, ending his streak at 830. Phil Kessel recently played one shift to keep his streak alive, and there was almost a mutiny in Florida in previous seasons when they weren’t going to start Yandle in game one of the season.
