Timonen will play Game 1000 on 38th birthday
Kimmo Timonen - D - Philadelphia Flyers
March 18, 2013 - 10:45 AM ET

Kimmo Timonen will celebrate his 38th birthday by playing in his 1,000th career game.

All Timonen probably wants though is a win against the Tampa Bay Lightning. "We've got to start winning games," Kimmo Timonen said. "If you look at the standings, the way we've been going, we win one game and maybe lose one or two after that. That's not going to work out. We've got to start putting some wins together, and that means three or four games together and go from there. But the bottom line is, we need wins." The Flyers kept their playoff hopes alive with a shootout win against the New Jersey Devils on Friday, but a loss Monday night would be a crushing blow, especially seeing as Philadelphia has five off-days following this contest.
