Fifty. It’s one of those magic numbers in hockey, especially when it comes to goals. Ever since Steven Stamkos has entered the league, the 50-goal mark has been hit or eclipsed exactly ten times by five different players. Alex Ovechkin has done it a remarkable five times, Stamkos twice, Sidney Crosby, Evgeni Malkin and Corey Perry once. If you include his 50th career goal, Stamkos has three pucks hanging on the wall with the number 50 on them.
50th Career Goal
Stamkos’ 50th career goal came in a 2-1 win over the Atlanta Thrashers on January 23, 2010, on the power play.
