Michigan got upstaged by Michigan State on Tuesday night in
Montreal.
Andrew Cogliano (Michigan) scored the game’s first goal for
the Anaheim Ducks while extending his consecutive games played streak to 738 NHL games,
but it was all Montreal after that. The Canadiens tallied five unanswered goals,
two of them by defenseman Jeff Petry (Michigan State), en route to a 5-0
victory at the Bell Centre.
Petry, from Ann Arbor, Mich. now has seven goals on the season,
tying his NHL career high recorded in 2013-14 with the Edmonton Oilers. He collected
nine goals in three NCAA seasons at MSU (2007-2010), according to hockeydb.com.
The games played streak by Toronto native Cogliano, who scored 36 goals
in two years at Michigan (2005-2007), is the fifth-longest streak in NHL
history. He passed current St. Louis Blues blueliner Jay Bouwmeester, who played
in 737 consecutive NHL contests from 2002 to 2014 with Florida, Calgary and St.
Louis.
