Roman Josi Becomes First Swiss Player To Surpass 800 Points

When Roman Josi assisted on Shane Wright's first goal with the Nashville Predators during the third period of last night's game against the Anaheim Ducks, he made history when he became the first Swiss player to record 800 career points in the NHL.

Josi, 36, has been the face of a generation for Swiss hockey fans. He's set a number of firsts as the first Swiss player to play 1,000 games in the NHL, the first Swiss player to record 500 assists, and of course, now he's the first Swiss player to ever record 800 career points in the NHL. Even more impressively, he did it as a defenseman.

Many of those milestones also marked the same firsts for the Predators organization. Josi was the first player in Predators history to surpass 1,000 games played with the team and he's now the first player to record more than 800 points while wearing Predators Gold.

The coming generation of Swiss and Nashville-born hockey players will undoubtedly have one thing in common: they were all inspired by the Predators' captain Roman Josi.
