Daily News | After 989 consecutive games played, Flyers defenseman Keith Yandle’s iron man streak to end on Saturday
“You know it towards the end of the year when you’re signing young guys and getting free agents out of college that they’re gonna give them a chance to play,” Yandle said. “You’ve got to respect that out of the business side of it, what they’re trying to do here.”
Right-shot Attard will slot in on the right side next to Seeler. Despite the influx of youth to the Flyers’ roster, effectively eliminating Yandle’s spot in the lineup for now, he has handled the situation with class. As the streak comes to an end, Yandle spent time reflecting — “and I’m not really a guy that reflects too much,” Yandle said — on his career with his wife, Kristyn, his brother, Brian, and his parents, Buddy and Patti.
“I told guys, it’s part of the business,” Yandle said. “You’ve got to understand what the team’s doing here. But having the guys and their support and the words that they’ve said to me, it’s been really, really special.”
