Jeff Petry Celebrates 1,000th NHL Game with Florida Panthers

Former Montreal Canadiens defenseman Jeff Petry skated in his 1,000th NHL game with the Florida Panthers. Petry spent eight seasons with the Canadiens, where he became a significant part of their blueline, recording 248 points in 508 games. His career in Montreal was impacted by COVID-19 restrictions, leading to a trade request. After stints with Pittsburgh and Detroit, Petry signed a one-year deal with the Panthers hoping to win a Stanley Cup. He has accumulated 390 points in his 1,000-game career, with 64% of his offensive production coming during his time with Montreal. The Panthers honored Petry in a pregame ceremony.
