PHOENIX – Niklas Hjalmarsson has never been afraid to take one for the team.
Well, make that two or three.
He’s made a living blocking shots on a nightly basis over the course of his 14-year career in the National Hockey League.
“It just comes naturally for me,” Hjalmarsson said.
On Wednesday night, Hjalmarsson played in his 800th career game when the Arizona Coyotes earned a 3-2 victory over the Kings at the Staples Center in Los Angeles.
