↵“This kid is special.” You got that right. Currently on a 16-game point streak where he’s produced 29 points, Stamkos is tied with Dany Heatley for the most powerplay goals (16). With 18 games to go for the Lightning and at the rate he’s going, 50 goals is a possibility for the kid who struggled notably during the first half of his rookie campaign.
