It's the fourth-longest iron man streak in NHL history. Doug Jarvis holds the record of 964. Florida defenseman Keith Yandle takes over the NHL's longest active streak at 676.

Cogliano was suspended for an interference penalty against Los Angeles forward Adrian Kempe on Saturday night in the Ducks' 4-2 victory. Cogliano hit Kempe after the Kings player released the puck, and was assessed a minor penalty for interference.

''In addition to the lateness of the hit, what elevates this check to merit supplemental discipline is the substantial head contact and the significant force,'' the NHL said in its explanation video.

The Ducks beat the Kings 4-2 on Saturday.

Cogliano signed a three-year extension through the 2020-2021 season on Friday.

"I love it here. I love the organization, and I'm proud to be a Duck," Cogliano said.
