Hossa Moves into 50th Place on NHL's All-Time Goals List

Chicago Blackhawks forward Marian Hossa scored the 474th goal of his career during Wednesday's 3-2 shootout win over the Pittsburgh Penguins to move into sole possession of 50th place on the NHL's all-time goals list, per Sportsnet Stats.

The 36-year-old winger reached the milestone just two minutes, 41 seconds into the second period, when his wrist shot from inside the left circle slipped through a crowd of bodies to beat Penguins goaltender Marc-Andre Fleury.

The power-play goal gave Chicago a 2-0 lead, with assists credited to Brent Seabrook and Brandon Saad.

Pittsburgh tied the game with a pair of goals later in the same period, but Chicago came out on top in the shootout, thanks to conversions from forwards Jonathan Toews and Patrick Kane.

In addition to breaking a tie with Denis Savard and Alexander Mogilny for 50th on the all-time goals list, Hossa's second-period goal was his 10th of the season, giving him a 16th consecutive campaign with double-digit goals.

The Czechoslovakian winger only failed to reach double-digit goals in his rookie season of 1997-98, when he made just seven appearances for the Ottawa Senators.

He's recorded at least 15 goals in each subsequent season, and he'll likely reach that total again by the end of this year.

While still going strong for his age, Hossa is on pace for a modest 17 goals, despite playing in each of Chicago's first 47 games. He has never scored fewer than 25 goals when playing more than 60 games in a season, but it appears the impressive streak may come to an end, if he stays healthy.

For now, Hossa will enjoy some time off over the All-Star break before preparing for a run at the third Stanley Cup of his career.
