Jacques Plante Hits 100 Mark In NHL Gaines
MONTREAL, Que.— Almost unnoticed in the excitement caused by the Montreal Canadiens’ second long winning streak of the current season was the fact that Jacques Plante, the roving netminder, played his 100th regular National Hockey League game.

Panagabko from the Bruins, coach Murray Henderson’s skaters won two of their ‘next three games, and, at the time this piece was written, had their first winning streak going.
