Regular season
Bobby Clarke wore the number 16 throughout his entire NHL career except for two games during the 1980–81 season.[2] Prior to a road game on February 27, 1981,[3] Clarke's jersey was stolen.[2] Clarke wore the only other jersey available, number 36,[2] in the next two games.[3][4] A month later, Clarke hit a personal milestone in memorable fashion. On March 19 during a game against the Boston Bruins, a Reggie Leach slapshot struck Clarke.[5] After leaving the ice, he re-appeared moments later stitched up and with his jersey covered in blood.[5] 31 seconds into the third period Clarke beat Bruins goalie Marco Baron for his 19th goal of the season[6] and his 1,000th career point.[5]
