It was a memorable goal in the moment - even without the historical context. It brought people out of their seats in the building, it caught the attention of viewers watching on TV or listening on the radio. In hockey parlance - it was a beauty.

The goal brought the Vegas Golden Knights even with the Florida Panthers at 3-3 and eventually earned James Neal's team a point. It also skated the Vegas winger into NHL history. Neal's third period goal, which saw him put defenders into a spin cycle capped off with a laser which Panthers goalie James Reimer could barely wave at, was his 20th of this season.

A feat he had accomplished in the previous nine seasons to give him 20 goals in 10 campaigns and put him in a very exclusive scoring club. Neal has scored 20 goals in all 10 of his NHL seasons. Only 135 NHL players, including Neal, have reached this mark.

Neal is also among a list of six active NHL players who have scored 20 goals in all 10 or more of their career NHL seasons.
