San Jose Sharks forward Joe Thornton surpassed Johnny Bucyk for 24th on the all-time points list with his two assists in Wednesday's game against the Los Angeles Kings, per Sportsnet Stats.
Thornton now possesses 1,370 points over 1,412 career games, per Hockey-Reference.com, nearly eclipsing the point-per-game threshold. His next target on the list is former Dallas Stars great Mike Modano, who finished his career with 1,374 points.
The veteran center is known as more of a playmaker than a finisher, tallying 990 assists out of his 1,370 career points.
