Keith Tkachuk became just the 28th US-Born player to skate in his 1,000 career NHL game on December 1, 2007. This also make him the 224th player in NHL history to hit the coveted 1,000 games played.
In a 3-1 win over the Chicago Blackhawks, Tkachuk had a helper on the 3-0 goal, finding Mike Johnson in the high slot. The Legend of Melrose Mass would finish his career with over 1,200 games played, good enough for 112th on the all time games played list between Owen Nolan and HHOFer Brian Leetch.
Always liked him, was happy when he joined the Flyers
