Marleau was drafted second overall by the San Jose Sharks in the 1997 NHL entry draft and has never played for another team. He became the first player in franchise history to reach the mark.
Former teammate and Shark Owen Nolan congratulated Marleau on the milestone.
Congrats Patty on 500 goals that's awesome. I remember long ago when I had an assist on your first goal. Keep going! @SanJoseSharks
