He’s as healthy as he’s been all season long, but there aren’t enough games left in this NHL season for Craig Conroy to achieve a coveted personal goal.

Conroy, the veteran Calgary Flame, has battled numerous injuries this season and, with each missed game, so will he miss the opportunity to reach the 1,000-game plateau. He sits at 973 and with 20 games remaining, well, you do the math.

“Like I always said, I was happy to play my first game in Montreal. That could have been it,’’ chuckled Conroy, a 1990 sixth-round draft pick of the Canadiens who played in his first NHL game during the 1994-95 campaign. “I didn’t know if I would play one or 25 and even to be over 900 now is pretty special. I appreciate it. I come in here and do have a lot of fun.
