VIDEO: Stamkos scores to record 500th career point

Steven Stamkos reached a major milestone against the Boston Bruins on Monday in classic Steven Stamkos fashion.

The 25-year-old recorded the 500th point of his career when he blasted a one-timer past Tuukka Rask from - where else - the left circle to give the Tampa Bay Lightning a 4-3 lead in the second period of a high-scoring affair at TD Garden.

Brian Boyle scored a pair earlier in the game for the Lightning while Loui Eriksson scored two of the Bruins' three power-play goals through two periods.

Tampa Bay went on to win 6-3.
