Patrick Marleau

Patrick Denis Marleau is a Canadian professional ice hockey forward and alternate captain for the San Jose Sharks of the National Hockey League (NHL). Marleau is the all-time leader in goals, even strength goals, power play goals, points, shots, and games played for the San Jose Sharks, having spent nearly his entire NHL career with the Sharks since being drafted second overall by the franchise in the 1997 NHL Entry Draft. He played his 1,700th NHL game on January 11, 2020, against the Dallas Stars. He is one of only five NHL players to play in 1,700 games, one of just five to play 1,400 with one team, and the youngest to reach both the 1,300- and 1,400-game marks. Marleau was seven games short of becoming the youngest player to play in 1,500 games with one team before signing with the Toronto Maple Leafs in 2017. After two seasons with Toronto, he returned to San Jose in 2019.
