Nashville forward Steven Stamkos is nearing the 600-goal milestone as he prepares to face the Vegas Golden Knights. Stamkos recently scored two goals, bringing his career total to 599, and achieved his sixth game-winning goal of December, tying an NHL record. He also tied a team record for game-winning goals in consecutive victories. The Predators, who have improved their record after a slow start, are now close to a wild-card spot.
