Babcock earns career win No. 500 as Red Wings come back to beat Rangers

Mike Babcock

Mike Babcock, with that legendary stare and time ticking in his current contract, has now won 500 games as a National Hockey League head coach.

He achieved the milestone Saturday night, as his Detroit Red Wings came back to defeat the New York Rangers by a final score of 3-2. The Red Wings trailed by a pair of goals after the first period but tied it in the second with goals just over a minute apart. Darren Helm scored the winner in the third.

For Babcock, this win is an individual accomplishment but it also makes history within the NHL coaching fraternity.

And it coincides with the fact Babcock is in the final year of his contract with Detroit.
