List of NHL players with the most games played by franchise

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The National Hockey League (NHL) is a major professional ice hockey league which operates in Canada and the United States. Below is a list of players who have played with one franchise, including 2 or more stints if they have briefly played elsewhere. A player who reaches the 1,000 game milestone is awarded a silver stick.

Fifty of the listed players who have played 1,000 games have played for only one franchise (of which 17 are still active as of the current 2023–24 season). Five of those players played exclusively for the Detroit Red Wings and four played for the Montreal Canadiens, those teams having the most such players.
