Steven Stamkos has two assists in three games for the Tampa Bay Lightning against the Detroit Red Wings thus far in their Atlantic Division semifinal, but no goals.
While Stamkos went seven games without a goal in March, but otherwise didn’t have a stretch of more than three games in which he didn’t tally a goal. So, in theory, he’s due on Thursday night as the Lightning take on the Wings in Game 4 at the Joe, trailing 2-1.
His coach Jon Cooper sounds like he believes in that theory.
"You see a close game and he happens not to score, the alarm goes off, 'What's wrong with Stammer,'" Cooper said, via the Detroit News.
