Tomas Plekanec hits 500 career points, contract talks with the Habs have started

With his empty net goal against the Bruins, Tomas Plekanec has reached the 500 point plateau.

Prior to the game against the Bruins, 22 players in the history of the Montreal Canadiens have scored 500 points as a member of the team. Tomas Plekanec's insurance marker into the Bruins empty net made him the 23rd player in team history to join that group.

He's in some pretty exclusive company now, as that list includes names like Richard, Robinson, Shutt, Lemaire, and many more. His next point will tie him with Bob Gainey at 501 points, so it's easy to see that he has carved himself a spot in the Habs history books.
