Brayden Schenn’s father Jeff gives special locker room talk

Brayden Schenn's father Jeff Schenn gave a special pregame pep talk and read the starting lineup for his son’s team ahead of the game on Thursday. Per NHL.com, he said he was proud of the St. Louis Blues, but Brayden was "my favorite Blue, it's a tie for the top player though between him and his bro."

Brayden’s brother Luke Schenn, who is a defenseman for the Nashville Predators, also crossed the 1,000-game milestone on Oct. 17.

"A lot of the things in our career, we've kind of gone through together," Luke said, via NHL.com. "Even from a distance it's kind of been together and pushing each other, back to back years we got drafted in the NHL draft. We've kind of always been able to push each other and been best buddies along the way growing up."

The Schenn brothers are the eighth set of siblings to play 1,000 games or more in NHL history.
