As Denver Barkey heads back to the London Knights after spending the last couple of months watching the Philadelphia Flyers' training camp from the sidelines, he reflects on his recovery from illness and coming back a stronger player than before. Former Philadelphia Flyers defenseman Luke Schenn will play in his 1,000th career NHL game tonight (Oct. 17) when the Nashville Predators take on the Edmonton Oilers. Schenn, 34, is currently in his 17th NHL season. The Toronto Maple Leafs selected the right-shot defenseman with the fifth-overall pick, and he has since put together an incredibly lengthy career, as evidenced by him reaching the 1,000-game mark. Schenn spent four seasons of his long NHL career with the Flyers from 2012-13 to 2015-16. In 213 games as a Flyer, Schenn had 12 goals, 42 points, 712 hits, and a minus-6 rating.

Needless to say, he is a journeyman, but that has not stopped the former Flyer from hitting this major accomplishment.
