Watch: Senators honor Chris Neil with 1000th game ceremony

Chris Neil played his 1,000th NHL game Saturday in Los Angeles, and prior to Tuesday's contest versus the Sharks, the Ottawa Senators' longtime enforcer was recognized for the accomplishment in front of his home fans.

The only other Senators to play 1,000 games - Daniel Alfredsson and Chris Phillips - presented Neil with a silver stick, while Neil's wife, kids, and members of Ottawa's ownership were on hand for the ceremony.

Neil has played his entire career with the Senators, who drafted him 161st overall in 1998.
