More remarkably, however, is that Carlson has played 380 of those games consecutively, which is second place on the Caps all-time streak, behind only Bobby Carpenter‘s 422. Not to jinx it, but Carlson’s real accomplishment will come about midway through the season when he hits 423.
Alzner is two games behind him in the consecutive games department. Last we checked, they’re still in competition for it.
