The 30-year-old Pitlick is now on the fifth stop of his NHL career. You know, a lot of people don’t play one, so it’s a big accomplishment.” I’ve obviously missed a lot of games, so I feel like I could have got there a lot quicker, but it definitely means a lot to say I’ve played 300 games in the NHL.
