In the St. Louis Blues 6-3 win over the Toronto Maple Leafs on Saturday night, Brandon Saad reached a career milestone when he scored his 200th NHL goal to break the 3-3 tie early in the third period.
The 29-year-old native of Pittsburgh, PA, was drafted in the second round (43rd overall) of the 2011 NHL Entry Draft by the Chicago Blackhawks out of the Saginaw Spirit of the Ontario Hockey League.
On October 4, 2011, Saad agreed to a three year, entry-level contract, and after his signing, it was announced that Saad would start the 2011-12 season with the Blackhawks, making him the lowest draft pick to begin the season with the Blackhawks in their draft year since defenseman Lasse Kukkonen (drafted 151st overall) in the 2003–04 season.
