Steven Stamkos is back! He played in his first game since February, when an injury caused him to be out until Game 3 of the Stanley Cup Final. It didn’t take long for the Captain to get a goal on the board as he scored the Bolts second goal of the game 6:58 into the first period. The Lightning won Game 3, 5 to 2, and now lead the series against the Stars 2 games to 1.
Check out Steven’s goal below.
