Bouwmeester's ironman streak ends at 737 games

Jasen Vinlove / USA TODAY Sports

Jay Bouwmeester did not play Sunday for the St. Louis Blues, effectively ending the longest active consecutive games played streak in professional sports.

The veteran defenseman will be sidelined with a lower-body injury suffered Saturday in Ottawa after suiting up in 737 consecutive games spanning more than a decade. 

His ironman streak was the longest in North American professional sports and the fifth-longest of all time. 

Anaheim Ducks forward Andrew Cogliano will have the distinction passed down to him Sunday. He will play in his 562nd straight game - 12th most all time.
