RALEIGH, N.C. -- On the day of his 600th NHL game, Toby Enstrom, as he always does, downplayed the occasion.
The 31-year-old Swede has spent his entire career in North America with the Atlanta Thrashers/Winnipeg Jets franchise and over his nine NHL seasons, has proven to be a pretty durable player.
That's even more important, given he's just 5-10 and 180 pounds and plays the league's most dangerous position in the modern era -- defence -- where pucks are flying and there always seems to be some monster forward stalking you into a corner.
