Kraken Jordan Eberle's Milestone Chase Almost Complete

Veteran Seattle Kraken forward Jordan Eberle recently played in his 1.000th NHL game, as well as recording his 700th point and 400th assist. Going into Wednesday's game against the L.A. Kings, he's sitting on 299 career goals.

When he scores #300, don't expect him to celebrate on social media.

"I played in Edmonton for a number of years," Eberle said in a recent KJR-FM interview.

"I had Twitter at the time. I don't care how strong-willed you are, you look at tweets. They're not always pretty. So I figured, 'I don't need this.'"
