Since he was acquired from the Oilers in a trade in 2011, he has registered 233 points (102 goals, 131 assists) in 584 games. Cogliano holds the fourth-longest consecutive games streak in NHL history (830 games), recorded from Oct. 4, 2007-Jan. 13, 2018.
He has missed just two games in his career, both because of a two-game suspension in January 2018. The Stars selected Shore, 24, with their second-round pick (No. 61) in the 2012 NHL Draft. In 42 games this season, he has 17 points (five goals, 12 assists) and overall, he has 82 points (29 goals, 53 assists) in 209 NHL games.
