Steven Stamkos has celebrated nine birthdays while a member of the Tampa Bay Lightning. On almost half of his special days he has had a game. Playing in four games on the day of his birth is a team record that he shares with Jassen Cullimore. According to HockeyReference.com, the NHL record is shared by Peter Bondra and Jeremy Roenick, who both played in 11 games on their birthday.
So how has the captain fared on his birthday?
In his first birthday game, Stamkos assisted on the only goal of the game. It was a third period goal by Gary Roberts that led the Lightning to a 1-0 victory over the New York Islanders.
