Stamkos Enters All-Time Top-5 for Power-Play Goals, Game-Tying Goals

Steven Stamkos' career has been legendary to say the least. The Nashville Predators forward is continuing to establish himself as one of the NHL's all-time top goal scorers. On Saturday afternoon, he built on that even further as he claimed the fifth spot on both the power-play goal and game-tying goal leaderboards.

Stamkos scored a power-play goal late in the first period to tie things up at 1-1 against the St. Louis Blues after Jimmy Snuggerud gave the visitors' a lead just a few minutes prior. That goal marked the 248th power-play goal of Stamkos's career, pushing him past legendary Los Angeles Kings winger Luc Robitaille for the fifth-most in NHL history. Now, he'll be chasing Teemu Selanne who scored on the man advantage 255 times in his career.

The goal was also Stamkos's 130th career game-tying goal, which moved him past Jaromir Jagr for the fifth-most in NHL history. He currently trails just Alex Ovechkin, Wayne Gretzky, Dave Andreychuk, and Joe Sakic. Sakic is directly ahead of Stamkos, with 132 tying goals according to the NHL Media site.

As the season progresses, Stamkos can continue to move up these leaderboards. The main question remaining though, is how far can he go before he calls it a career? Only time will tell.
