Joe Thornton had two assists on Thursday to tie Jarome Iginla at 997 career points.

The two stars are waging quite the battle to see who gets to 1,000 career points first. Thornton still has five games remaining this season while Iginla has only four. Both are competing to become the 78th NHL player to hit the magical mark.
