Roman Josi becomes first Swiss-born NHL player to reach 800 points

Roman Josi became the first Swiss-born player and the first Nashville Predator to record 800 NHL regular-season points on Wednesday. He reached the milestone with an assist on Shane Wright’s third-period goal in a 4–2 win over the Anaheim Ducks.

The Nashville captain picked up another assist on Steven Stamkos’s goal later in the period to finish the night at 801 career points. The defenceman has spent his entire NHL career with the Predators.

The second assist gave Josi 20 in 19 games this season. Nashville says that broke the club mark held by Steve Sullivan, who needed 20 games to reach 20 assists in 2003–04.
