San Jose Sharks forward Jeff Skinner has hit a new career milestone.

During the Sharks' Dec. 16 contest against the Calgary Flames, Skinner officially played in the 1,100th game of his NHL career. 

It is undoubtedly a big accomplishment for an NHL player to reach 1,100 career games, and Skinner is now the latest player to do so. This new milestone shows just how strong of a career the Sharks sniper has had. What also makes it even more impressive is that he is still just 33 years old. 

Skinner became an NHL regular immediately after being selected by the Carolina Hurricanes with the seventh-overall pick of the 2010 NHL Entry Draft, as he put up a 63-point season as a rookie in 2010-11. Now, Skinner is in his 16th NHL season.

Skinner joined the Sharks this off-season when he signed a one-year, $3 million contract with the club in free agency. In 21 games so far this season with the Sharks, he has recorded four goals and seven points. 

In 1,100 career NHL games split between the Hurricanes, Buffalo Sabres, Edmonton Oilers, and Sharks, Skinner has posted 377 goals, 329 assists, and 706 points.
