Jordan Eberle’s teammates kracked their pregame look before his 1,000th NHL game on Tuesday.

The Seattle Kraken wore special Eberle T-shirts in honor of the forward’s career milestone as they arrived at Climate Pledge Arena before their game against the Vegas Golden Knights.

The gray shirts featured the Kraken forward’s No. 7 in teal behind the number “1000” with his nickname “Ebs” inside the zeros.

A patch of the same logo was also on the Kraken’s game jerseys.

Kraken mascot Buoy made a homemade sign that read “Congrats on 1,000 Ebs.” The two posed for a picture with the sign.

A special video tribute featuring the veteran forward's career highlights aired on the arena video board. He became emotional as Kraken fans gave him a standing ovation.

Eberle is in his 14th NHL season and third with the Kraken. He played seven seasons with the Edmonton Oilers from 2010-17 and four seasons with the New York Islanders from 2017-2021.
