Yandle 'out for a while,' ending impressive ironman run

Keith Yandle's going to miss a game.

The Florida Panthers defenseman sustained a lower-body injury Monday. Head coach and general manager Tom Rowe said Yandle will "be out for a while," according to ESPN's Shawn Hutcheon.

Yandle last missed a game in 2008, when the Arizona Coyotes were the Phoenix Coyotes. He's played in every game since, and even suited up in 84 in 2014-15 after a trade to the New York Rangers.

In his first season as a Panther, Yandle has a goal and 11 assists in 26 games, averaging 21:48 in ice time. His loss is a big one for the defending Atlantic Division champs.

Yandle's run of 577 consecutive games ranks 10th all time in NHL history. All good things come to an end.
