Taylor Hall Set to Play 1,000th NHL Game in Historic Global Series Milestone

Carolina Hurricanes forward Taylor Hall is set to play his 1,000th career NHL game on Thursday against the Seattle Kraken in Helsinki, Finland. Hall will become the first player in league history to reach the 1,000-game milestone outside of North America. Coincidentally, his NHL debut occurred on Oct. 7, 2010, the exact date of Carolina's previous Finland trip. A former No. 1 overall pick, Hall won a Stanley Cup with Carolina last season after reinventing his game under head coach Rod Brind'Amour.
