John Shannon: Games played by team.

1596 with San Jose.
164 with Toronto.
8 with Pittsburgh.

Chris Johnston: “The kind of longevity and consistency Patrick Marleau has shown throughout his career is tough to comprehend. He was the NHL’s youngest player when he played his first game and is today its third-oldest as he skates in No. 1,768 — more than anyone in history.”

1,768 games later, Patrick Marleau now owns the NHL record for the most games played in League history.
