For 19 seasons, Patrick Marleau has been synonymous with the San Jose Sharks. Now, the future Hall of Famer is within two goals of a significant scoring milestone.
Marleau will try to become the second player this season and 45th overall to reach 500 goals and the Sharks look to push their longest winning streak of the season to seven games as they face the Edmonton Oilers on Thursday night in the league's final game before the All-Star break.
Selected second in the 1997 draft, Marleau has spent his entire career in teal, white and black, scoring at least 30 goals seven times with a career-best 44 in 2009-10.
