San Jose Sharks forward Patrick Marleau broke legendary Gordie Howe’s record for most games played in NHL history, with his 1,768th career game. The 41-year old has played nearly 1,600 of those games with the Sharks. He has played 164 games with the Toronto Maple Leafs and the Penguins. When he made his NHL debut, Marleau was just 18 years and 16 days old, youngest for any player since 1945.
