DobberHockey’s Eli Fieldman offers a list of 10 fantasy hockey-relevant “iron men” for poolies to pay attention to this upcoming season, and in doing so, he reveals that one Red Wings player has played in more consecutive games than Moritz Seider:
3. Moritz Seider (328 Games)
Without missing a single game in his NHL career thus far, Moritz Seider has emerged as Detroit’s defensive anchor and a top-notch fantasy asset. For a workhorse defenseman logging heavy minutes against top competition each night, Seider’s durability is extraordinary. While his elite category coverage (including hits, blocks, power play production) makes him one of the most valuable fantasy defensemen in fantasy hockey, his durability adds yet another layer of appeal.
2. Alex DeBrincat (374 Games)
At just 5’8″, DeBrincat has faced questions about his ability to handle the rigors of the NHL throughout his career. Cat’s response, however, has been emphatic – to the tune of 374 consecutive games and counting. Along with his reliable goal scoring, DeBrincat offers power play punch in a top-six role. Cat’s combo of production and durability makes him a key part of Detroit’s rebuild and one of the most dependable wingers around.
