Moving up - 09-16-10
Assuming Jordan Staal's right foot isn't touched by the healing hands of Jesus, Buddha or Gary Roberts, he's going to miss the Penguins' season opener Oct. 7 at Consol Energy Center. His consecutive games streak of 312 regular season games, second-most in franchise history, will sadly come to an end.
That means Craig Adams can move to the front of the line. Adams, a hard-working, grinding fourth-liner, was one of two members of the Penguins (Staal being the other obviously) who appeared in all 82 games last season.
Were it not for a healthy scratch in the final regular season games in 2008-09, Adams' streak would've been longer.
Here are the Penguins who can extend their own personal consecutive game streaks for the franchise when the Flyers come to town Oct. 7:
| Player | Consecutive Games Played |
| Jordan Staal | 302 |
| Craig Adams | 82 |
| Kris Letang | 56 |
| Sidney Crosby | 52 |
| Pascal Dupuis | 30 |
| Tyler Kennedy | 14 |
| Alex Goligoski | 13 |
| Mike Rupp | 4 |
| Evgeni Malkin | 3 |
| Eric Godard | 2 |
| Brent Johnson | 1 |
| Eric Tangradi | 1 |
| Matt Cooke | - |
| Chris Kunitz | - |
| Brooks Orpik | - |
| Maxime Talbot | - |
| Marc-Andre Fleury | - |
