Lapointe has played in 757 career NHL games as of the last completed NHL season, scoring 148 goals and 165 assists for 313 points. He has also compiled 1,143 career penalty minutes. He has won 2 Stanley Cup championships while playing for the Red Wings, in 1997 and 1998.
In the summer of 2001, he signed a 4 year free agent deal with the Boston Bruins. After the NHL lockout wiped out the entire 2004-2005 season, he signed a 3 year free agent deal with Chicago in August 2005. He later served as captain for Chicago for the later half of the 2005-06 season due to Adrian Aucoin's extended absence through injury.
Lapointe had played in 209 consecutive games with the Hawks and 254 straight overall before he sat out Jan. 16 against St. Louis with what was believed to be the flu. Before that his last absence had been Dec. 29, 2003, with Boston.Chicagosports.com.
On February 26, 2008, Lapointe was traded by the Chicago Blackhawks to the Ottawa Senators for a sixth round draft pick. He was brought in for his grit and physical play.
