Video: Panthers' Keith Yandle Scores 100th Goal and Goes Wild!
Florida Panthers defenseman, Keith Yandle has been all over the news lately and he wasn't happy about it. The team moved Yandle from practicing with the 'A Group' to practicing with the 'B Group' all week and there was a ton of coverage surrounding his Iron Man streak that sat at 866 before Sunday.
Turns out the Panthers shocked the world and put Yandle in the lineup and wouldn't you know, the offensive-defenseman managed to do this:

The 34-year-old veteran who is protected by a full no-movement clause spoke after the game about what that goal meant to him and here's what he had to say:
Anytime I score I'm pretty excited, but it was definitely a special one. Seeing the guys and how excited they were for me definitely meant a lot. Anytime you get to put on an NHL jersey and be able to represent your team is a special thing.
Yandle's streak, which is currently fourth all-time, now sits at 867 consecutive games.
