Ducks sport custom T-shirts in honor of former teammate Fowler’s 1,000th NHL game

Safe to say we know who the Anaheim Ducks were rooting for in the Winter Classic.

The Ducks wore custom T-shirts in honor of their former teammate Cam Fowler’s 1,000^th NHL game as they arrived at the Honda Center for their game against the New Jersey Devils on Tuesday.

The shirts featured a picture of Fowler with a Team NEGU shirt on as the one in the number 1,000. Fowler worked with Team NEGU, the Jessie Rees Foundation, which supports children who are battling cancer and their families.

Fowler was traded to the St. Louis Blues on Dec. 14. He had spent all 15 of his NHL seasons with the Ducks prior to the trade.

The veteran defenseman played in his 1,000^th game during the Discover NHL Winter Classic against the Chicago Blackhawks at Wrigley Field. He is the first player to reach the career milestone in an outdoor game.

He scored the game’s first goal less than two minutes into the first period and another in the second period for good measure.
