LW Gary Roberts wasn't crazy about how Boston D Mark Stuart took runs at RW Mark Recchi and C Steven Stamkos. So after the defenseman took a run at Stamkos, Roberts had enough and took on the 24-year-old, who is nearly half Roberts' age. ...more

Lightning rookie and overall No. 1 draft pick Steven Stamkos recorded a natural hat trick in Tuesday's game against Chicago, scoring three consecutive goals. Stamkos, who celebrated his 19th birthday on Feb. 12, scored his first goal of the game at 12:58 of the first period when he jumped on puck that caromed off the end boards to the side of the net that he put past Cristobal Huet that tied the game 1-1. Then Stamkos went to work on the power play in the second period. With Craig Adams in the penalty box for a high sticking double-minor at 9:45, Stamkos gave Tampa Bay the lead at 10:28 when he took a down-low, cross-ice feed at the left point from Vinny Prospal and fired a wrist shot to the top of the neat post and over the right shoulder of Huet. Seventy seconds later, with Stamkos back on the left point on the second half of the power play, Stamkos one-timed a Steve Eminger feed past Huet that gave the Lightning a 3-1 lead 11:38 into the second period. Stamkos took to one knee and gave a Tiger Woods-esque fist pump as hats began to rain down from the stands in celebration of the rookie's first career hat trick performance, the first rookie hat trick in franchise history. It is Stamkos' second multi-goal game of the season. The overall No. 1 pick failed early on to live up to the lofty expectations placed on him when Tampa Bay selected him first at the draft in Ottawa back in June. He had four goals through the first 42 games of the season. But since the coaching staff put him onto a strength-training program, which saw him sit out three games as a healthy scratch, Stamkos has improved his play. In his past 13 games, including Tuesday, Stamkos has six goals and five assists. ...more

The Lightning's slumping offense needed a jolt. Enter Marty St. Louis. Tampa Bay's No. 1 spark plug led a four-goal, first-period outburst Thursday en route to a 6-4 victory against Toronto. St. Louis had a goal and three assists - all in the opening 20 minutes - to set a career high with four points in a period, which also ties the franchise mark done three other times. The three assists in the first period also tied a franchise record, a mark St. Louis has now reached three times. ...more
