Avalanche F Ryan O'Reilly takes first penalty of the season
Ron Chenoy / Reuters
Colorado Avalanche forward Ryan O'Reilly snapped his 75 consecutive game streak - 71 this season - without taking a penalty Saturday in the worst kind of way.
The 23-year-old was assessed a two-minute minor midway through the third period against San Jose for playing the puck with a broken stick.
O'Reilly last recorded a penalty March 10, 2013 - ironically enough against the Sharks - and has amassed just 52 PIM in 337 career games.
Entering Saturday's game, 26 NHL goalies had more penalty minutes this season.
