Alzner is scheduled to play in his 516th NHL/Capitals game on Saturday at Vancouver, passing Joe Reekie (515) for 10th place in franchise history in games played by a defenseman.

In addition, Alzner has played in 464 consecutive games (2010-16), marking the longest consecutive games played streak in franchise history. Alzner led the team in final stretches this afternoon in Vancouver.
