Stamkos moves into 20th on NHL goals list with winner in Preds' comeback

Steven Stamkos passed Hall of Famer Dino Ciccarelli for 20th on the NHL's all-time goals list to engineer an epic comeback by the Nashville Predators over the St. Louis Blues on Monday.

The Predators trailed 5-1 before storming back to win 6-5 thanks to a pair of clutch goals from Stamkos. First, he scored career goal No. 608 to tie Ciccarelli and the game midway through the third period.

He then passed Ciccarelli with No. 609 minutes later to give Nashville the lead.

Stamkos is now one goal away from tying Bobby Hull for 19th all-time. Joe Sakic and Jarome Iginla, tied for 17th place with 625 goals, are within Stamkos' sights this season.

The 35-year-old is up to 27 goals this season following a slow start to the campaign in which he collected just two points in his first 14 games.

The win tied a Predators franchise record for largest comeback victory.
