Lightning’s Steven Stamkos scores 500th NHL goal against Canucks
Steven Stamkos scored his 500th regular-season NHL goal on Wednesday — and then just kept scoring.
The 32-year-old centre took a slick pass from Alex Killorn and put a backdoor tap in past Vancouver Canucks goalie Spencer Martin to open the scoring 4:40 into the first period on Wednesday.“It’s such a humbling experience when you have a moment like that and you get to celebrate it with your teammates, who are genuinely just as excited as you are. I’m so thankful for them,” Stamkos said.
Stamkos is the 47th player in NHL history and the third active skater to score 500 goals, following Washington’s Alex Ovechkin and Pittsburgh’s Sidney Crosby.
