I believe Sam Reinhart has already set the record for the most total games played in three seasons, as he is playing in his 303rd tonight, which is the most of any current Panther (the are four others who've played every playoff game the last three runs, but they've missed more regular season games than he has (3).
To have a chance at this record, one would think a player would have to make three straight Stanley Cup finals, which Tampa Bay did recently, but in two shortened regular seasons. Prior to that, the last team to do it was the Oilers, but that only took 53 playoff games (Panthers are at 59 and counting), plus regular seasons were 80 games, not 82. And prior to that, there were shorter seasons and fewer playoff rounds.
So am I right, and Sam Reinhart is already the all-time leader in total games over 3 seasons? Or is there someone I'm missing? (Perry's run was during COVID, and Hossa missed a ton of regular season games in 08-10, and no one else springs to mind).
@pnep may be able to help.
Who are the all-time total GP (RS+PO) leaders over x number of seasons?
Edit: Reinhart is in fact NOT playing in his 303rd game tonight, coincidentally he's sitting out, but I believe the rest still stands.
