Like Washington Capitals left winger Alex Ovechkin, Nashville Predators middle Steven Stamkos is an ageless marvel.
Stamkos made NHL historical past in Nashville’s highway recreation towards the Las Vegas Golden Knights on New 12 months’s Eve. Late within the first interval of the Predators’ 4-2 win, the 35-year-old middle scored the 600th purpose of his 18-year profession on a wrist shot.
Stamkos is now considered one of three energetic gamers with 600 objectives or extra. The others are 40-year-old Ovechkin — the NHL’s all-time purpose chief (912) — and 38-year-old Pittsburgh Penguins middle Sidney Crosby (646).
Like Crosby and Ovechkin, Stamkos is not operating on fumes at this level in his profession. He stays a useful contributor for a squad that continues to be within the early playoff hunt. Following the win over Vegas, Nashville is 18-17-4 and fourth within the Central Division.
