Nashville Predators’ Steven Stamkos is on the verge of making NHL history again.

The countdown to Stamkos tallying his 600th career NHL goal is on. With a  wrist shot taken during the third period of Saturday’s home game against the Toronto Maple Leafs at Bridgestone Arena, Stamkos put the puck into the Maple Leafs’ goal to give his team a 4–2 lead, and himself his 595th career goal. Coupled with an assist Stamkos was credited with in the second period on the power-play goal registered by Erik Haula that tied the game at 1, the second-year Predator had a productive evening.
