“It's a pretty cool milestone,” he said. “It's one of those things that you kind of look back and it didn't seem to me like it was 100 games, it kind of felt like it flew by.”Hitting that mark is nice, but then the goal quickly shifts to doing everything you can as a player to make sure you hit 150 or 200 games played.
On a team laden with players who have logged significant minutes in the NHL and who often check in with the younger guys on the team, Newhook has often found himself going to Andrew Cogliano, a veteran of over 1,000 NHL games. Since the calendar flipped to 2023, Newhook has been on a roll. He’s scored seven points in the 11 games in January, which includes his first career three-point game.
