Steven Stamkos scored goal #500 and added two more to his career total in a 5-2 win over the Vancouver Canucks on Wednesday night. Brian Elliott stopped 37 shots against in the win, keeping the Canucks at arm’s length all night. Brayden Point, Nikita Kucherov, and Alex Killorn all notched two points, with Point and Kucherov scoring between Stammer’s two in the first. Ross Colton, Brandon Hagel, and Erik Cernak also went home with assists.
The numbers were skewed for the Canucks as once they fell down 4-0, they didn’t have to worry about playing defense for the rest of the game as they didn’t have anything to lose.
