It's been quite a season for Tampa Bay Lightning forward Tyler Johnson and Thursday night, Johnson put his name into the Lightning record books.

Just two minutes into the first period against the Philadelphia Flyers, Johnson lit the lamp for the 24th time this season, tying him with Nathan MacKinnon for the rookie lead. That also breaks the franchise record for goals by a rookie, topping the 23 scored by Steven Stamkos during the 2008-2009 season.

Coincidentally, it was Stamkos that set Johnson up for the record breaking goal, feeding him for the beauty one-timer. Check it out below:
