Fortunately for Kessel, his teammates stepped up to the plate to assist him.
In the Coyotes' game against the Red Wings in Detroit, Tuesday, Kessel skated one shift, totaling 30 seconds. He immediately left the game to go to the airport, where the team had arranged for a charter flight back to Phoenix so he wouldn't miss his child's birth.
Coyotes later announced on Twitter that he would not return for that game and he had gone for the birth of his child. Kessel is set to return to the lineup against his old team, the Toronto Maple Leafs, at Scotiabank Arena on Thursday, according to Craig Morgan of GoPHNX.com.
Kessel was able to extend his iron man streak to 956 games by skating that one shift.
