In typical NHL fashion, only they could ruin a storybook moment for Phil Kessel.
On Monday, Kessel tied the NHL record for the most consecutive games played when he stepped out onto the ice for the Vegas Golden Knights, tying iron man Keith Yandle for the record at 989 games. Early in the first period against the Toronto Maple Leafs, Kessel capped off the milestone moment with his 400th career goal to put the Golden Knights up 1-0. Incredible stuff, right?
