A milestone night was also a victorious one for Joel Quenneville.

The Chicago Blackhawks head coach guided his club to a 3-2 shootout win over the Ottawa Senators on Wednesday night, coming out on top in his 1,600th career game coached in the NHL.

Quenneville became only the third head coach to reach that mark, and he's now only seven games from tying legendary former New York Islanders bench boss Al Arbour for second on the all-time list.

Scotty Bowman holds the records for games coached (2,141) and wins (1,244). Quenneville picked up his 877th victory Wednesday and remains in second place all time in career coaching victories.
