was in Hartford that Doug Jarvis set the NHL record for most consecutive games played with 964, breaking Garry Unger's record of 914. For this achievement, he was awarded the Bill Masterton Memorial Trophy in 1986–87. Jarvis was eventually passed by Keith Yandle in the 2021–22 season.

He played in 24 games with the Binghamton Whalers before retiring.
