Marleau's ascent on the all-time games played list began on Oct. 1, 1997, when the second overall selection in the 1997 NHL Draft made his NHL debut for the San Jose Sharks against the Edmonton Oilers. At 18 years, six days old, Marleau became the youngest player to make his NHL debut since 1945.
That season, Marleau finished tied for eighth among rookies in games played while also ranking in the top-10 in several offensive categories including points (32, fourth), goals (13, fifth), assists (seventh) and power-play points (7, ninth). He appeared in 74 games his rookie season and, over the next 22 years, that would be the fewest number of games he would play in a full 82-game season.
On April 9, 2009, Marleau started his current consecutive games played streak (899 consecutive games played), which is the fourth-longest ironman streak in NHL history, and the second-longest active streak in the NHL. In a full 82-game schedule, Marleau has averaged 80.45 games played each season, having missed only 31 of his team's games in his career (98.1%). In comparison to the other major professional sports, Marleau's percentage of games played ranks fifth.
