91 Days of Stamkos: Day 84, the goal that could have been Stamkos’ last as a Bolt

The Tampa Bay Lightning were down 4-1 late in a game against Florida when Steven Stamkos pumped home a power play goal at the 16:48 mark of the third period. It was his 36th goal of the season and 14th power play tally. It was, unfortunately, not enough to spark a comeback and the Lightning lost, 5-2. Not only did they lose the game, they lost a spot atop the Atlantic Division that they had claimed just one night earlier.

It was an inconsequential goal in an important game. It might have been the last goal Stamkos scored in a Lightning uniform.
