While they haven’t been teammates for five seasons now, Sidney Crosby and Marc-Andre Fleury are connected by one thing: the number 500. jbenny15 looks at some notable milestones that could be hit this NHL season.

A lot has changed in the NHL over the past 12 seasons but one thing has remained the same: Keith Yandle’s presence in an NHL lineup. The veteran defenceman, now a member of the Flyers, currently holds the second-longest iron man streak in NHL history with 922 consecutive games played. If he’s able to stick with the Flyers and stay healthy, he will pass Doug Jarvis’ all-time record of 964 in Game 43 against the Red Wings on Jan. 18.

Yandle isn’t the only person who could break Jarvis’ record this season, although he is in line to be the first. Free agent Patrick Marleau is 54 games behind Jarvis while Coyotes star Phil Kessel is 64.Sidney Crosby doesn’t get enough credit as a goal-scorer because his career will always be compared to Alex Ovechkin. But this season, Crosby has a chance to become just the second player to score 500 goals in the post-lockout era.

Even more impressively, Crosby enters the season with more career points than Ovechkin despite playing in 158 fewer games than his rival.
