In his 800th career NHL game, Phil Kessel unleashed his patented quick snap shot in stride to give the Pittsburgh Penguins a lead over the rival Columbus Blue Jackets.
Kessel's rip was his 289th career regular-season goal, and No. 42 in 132 starts with Pittsburgh. He ranks 20th on the active goals-per-game list with 0.36 each outing.
