As touched on in my Nikita Kucherov season evaluation, Tampa Bay had a historic season, breaking a ton of records on their way to 62 wins in the regular season. That being said, there had to be more than just Kucherov who stood out. Who else was an x-factor? How about their captain, Steven Stamkos.
The Basics
Like Kucherov, Stamkos played all 82 games this season, where he recorded 45 goals (0.55 goals per game), and 53 assists (0.65 assists per game), which totals 98 points (1.2 points per game). That was a career-high in points for Stamkos, which is crazy because he has had some stellar seasons in the past.
