Stamkos was fined $5,000 for unsportsmanlike conduct Friday.
EDGE Analysis
Stamkos has avoided a suspension, which surely comes as a relief for the Lightning. He's already got 24 points this season, and is vital to his team, and to fantasy lineups everywhere.

Stamkos collected two goals (one on the power play) and an assist during Monday's 8-5 win over Florida.
EDGE Analysis
Following his ninth multi-point showing of the campaign, Stamkos now boasts a three-point lead on linemate Nikita Kucherov in the scoring race. To put the 27-year-old center's hot start in perspective, there are only 67 other players in the league with nine total points, and his 18 assists alone would rank second in scoring. The elephant in the room remains Stamkos' lengthy and unlucky injury history, though.

Stamkos netted his fourth goal of the season in Thursday's 3-2 win over Detroit. The goal came on the power play.
EDGE Analysis
Stamkos' performance is other-worldly at this point -- the guy has 21 points in just 11 games. This production does more than justify that gigantic contract that kicks in this season.

Stamkos fashioned two assists with a plus-2 rating in Tuesday's 5-1 road win over the Hurricanes.
EDGE Analysis
He's now averaging a ridiculous two points per game with multi-point efforts in each of the last five. If you own Stamkos and don't have him in the lineup, we're just going to have to chalk that up to a computer glitch.

Stamkos extended his season-long scoring streak to nine games and 18 points with one goal and three assists in Saturday's 7-1 pounding of the Penguins.
EDGE Analysis
The goal was just his third, but who cares -- Stammer is full on beast mode this season. He sits on top of the NHL scoring board and is on pace for an unattainable 164 points. That won't happen, but he could finish around 90 points ... if he can stay healthy.

Stamkos extended his current point streak to eight games and 13 points with an assist in Thursday's 2-0 win over the Blue Jackets.
EDGE Analysis
Linemates Nikita Kucherov and Stamkos sit one-two in league scoring. Stammer is tied with Evgeny Kuznetsov for the league lead in assists (11). His game is evolving into more of a set-up role, but that still works for us. Stamkos' 1.63 points-per-game is outstanding, even without the snipes of the past.

Stamkos chipped in a goal and two assists in Tuesday's 5-4 shootout loss to the Devils.
EDGE Analysis
Stamkos lit the lamp with his only shot on goal, but also had five missed shot attempts and wasn't called upon in the skills challenge. The four-time 40-goal scorer has surprisingly operated as more of a setup man with two goals and 10 helpers through seven games. Stamkos' season-opening seven-game point streak has been made possible by tremendous chemistry with linemates Vladislav Namestnikov and Nikita Kucherov, both of whom scored goals that were assisted on by Stamkos in this one.

Stamkos recorded two assists (one on the power play) and two shots during Monday's 3-2 win over Detroit.
EDGE Analysis
The two helpers have Stamkos up to a six-game point streak with a goal and eight helpers for the campaign. Fantasy owners would love to see the former 60-goal scorer finding the back of the net a little more frequently, but it's hard to complain when an asset has produced above a point per game. Right now, the top line in Tampa is scorching hot, as Stamkos, Nikita Kucherov and Vladislav Namestnikov are proving to be an elite trio.

Stamkos extended his point streak to five games and seven points (one goal, six assists) with an assist in Saturday night's 2-1 win over the Blues.
EDGE Analysis
Steven the sniper is becoming Stevie the setup man. Stamkos is best known for his goal scoring, but he's an excellent passer, too. Right now, he's dishing to linemate Nikita Kucherov. Talk about adding sizzle to the steak. Stamkos has something to prove after last year's lost time due to injury and we've confident he will.
