Kessel played only a season with the Vegas Golden Knights, but it was enough to create some memorable moments with his teammates.
Superstar Jack Eichel shared a funny story involving Jonathan Marchessault. During a flinching contest, both players lunged forward to make the other flinch, but they hit each other by accident. As a result Kessel had a bump on his head, and Marchessault needed stitches.
Kessel's reaction was as funny as it could be:
Both players still participated in that night's game regardless of their minor injuries
On a train ride following the game, Phil Kessel complained about his head and another small injury he had in the game.
Kessel believed Coca-Cola would help with the pain so he ended up drinking 4 Coca Colas. Apparently that's his secret to his ironman streak.
These stories fuel Kessel's legendary reputation in the hockey world. We can't wait to see if he'll return later in the season to see what he does next.
