Derek Stepan admitted that he felt "a little confused" after receiving a third-period hit from Philadelphia's Claude Giroux Tuesday night. However, he stayed in the game and scored his 15th goal of the year. Stepan said it wasn't anything to worry about though and nothing has lingered since the hit. He has notched five goals and five assists in eight games during the month of April entering Thursday's contest against Florida.
