Stars rock special T-shirts in honor of Seguin’s 1,000th NHL game

Tyler Seguin was treated like a star on Thursday.

The Dallas Stars wore custom T-shirts to celebrate the veteran forward's 1,000^th NHL game before their matchup against the Tampa Bay Lightning at Benchmark International Arena.

The black tees featured five different pictures of Seguin, including his 2010 NHL Draft picture, with “1,000^th Game” written on the top and bottom of the design.

Some Stars players even rocked a fake sleeve of tattoos on their arms, in nod to the forward's famous ink.

Before the milestone game, Seguin joked that it felt like his 999^th game and talked about his teammates’ outfits during an interview with the NHL on TNT.

“They’ve [teammates] made it such a cool day and morning already that I’m pretty thankful,” Seguin said. “It’s going to be a cool experience and I think really the last few hours with my phone, just you know teammates and coaches texting. It’s going to be a cool night.”

Seguin is in his 16^th NHL season and 13^th season with the Stars. He was drafted by the Boston Bruins with the second overall pick in the 2010 NHL Draft and played three seasons with the team. As a rookie, he helped the Bruins to their 2011 Stanley Cup championship.
