For players, achieving this achievement is not an easy task. Most players don’t last four or five seasons in the NHL. But for Seguin, despite the injuries, he was able to overcome them and reach the milestone.
Seguin said in an interview with NHL.com’s Amalie Benjamin.
“I’ve been credited with winning early, having a daughter, and never [being] This single, very confident kid, to me I think I was the oldest player on the team last night. Things happened very quickly. “
He went on to say:
“I think 1,000 games was never really something I thought about until the last couple of years with the surgeries and the physical impact that I’ve had getting here and now I feel the healthiest I’ve been in years and I’m about to play my 1,000th game.”
Seguin had a very good career but failed to win a Stanley Cup in his era. However, the Stars are one of the league’s top teams and are widely considered to be serious Stanley Cup contenders.
In his 16-year career, he scored 363 goals, contributed 451 assists, and scored 814 points. He played 13 years in Dallas, where he scored 693 points. Early in his career, while playing for the Boston Bruins, he scored 121 points.
