What happened: The defenseman takes the ice tonight exactly 11 years after his NHL debut. The start breaks a tie for the runner-up spot in the organization's record book.

Why it matters: St. Louis hosts San Jose to open the 2026-27 schedule, providing the stage for the historic mark. The achievement underscores a durable career spent entirely with one franchise.

By the numbers: Bernie Federko holds the ultimate mark with 927 games played, leaving Parayko 123 appearances shy of the top spot.

What to watch: The veteran anchors the blue line against the Sharks as the new campaign begins.
