Prior to puck drop between the Blues and Avalanche tonight in Colorado, Brad Stuart was honored for playing in his 1,000th NHL game.
Originally a first-round pick (3rd overall) by the San Jose Sharks in 1998, Stuart spent six seasons with the Sharks before stops in Boston, Calgary, L.A. and Detroit.
The 35-year-old returned to San Jose for the 2012-13 season before getting dealt to the Avalanche in July.
In total, Stuart has 77 goals and 322 points in 1,002 games during 15 seasons.
