Patrik Elias may have closed out his NHL career in style.

The New Jersey Devils franchise-leader in goals, assists, and points picked up what could be the final goal of his storybook career.

With under 16 seconds left in game 82 of the season, Elias fired the puck past Toronto Maple Leafs goaltender Garret Sparks to conclude the 5-1 win.

Following Saturday's game the Prudential Center crowd serenaded the franchise-great.

Many expect Elias to announce his retirement in the summer as the 39-year-old's contract expires. He was limited to just 16 games this season thanks to a significant knee injury.

If Saturday was indeed Elias' last hurrah, he will finish with 408 goals and 1,025 points in 1,240 games.
