Tampa Bay's Steven Stamkos has joined the NHL's 60-goal club.
He scored at 3:29 of the third period at the last home game of the Winnipeg Jets.
He sent a slap shot past goaltender Ondrej Pavelec's glove on a pass from Martin St. Louis to put Tampa ahead 3-1.
Although they chanted ''No goal Stamkos'' all night every time he had a chance at the puck and booed initially, Winnipeg fans gave him a standing ovation a few seconds after he scored.
