Stamkos scored a goal and added an assist in a 5-4 overtime loss to Pittsburgh on Thursday.
EDGE Analysis
He knotted the game 3-3 with a wrist shot from the left circle just 38 seconds into the third period. Stamkos has put up points in two straight games (one goal, two assists) after delivering just four points in his previous 11 games. Stammer is still a solid fantasy producer, but he only has two multi-point games in his last 18 outings (six goals, six assists). And just seven points (three goals, four assists) in his last 13 games. We don't know if he's simply preserving energy for the postseason or if there's an underlying injury that's suppressing his production. It bears watching, though, and especially if you're relying on his offense as you head into head-to-head playoffs.

Stamkos scored a goal and added an assist in a 6-5 overtime loss to Buffalo on Thursday.
EDGE Analysis
Stammer opened the scoring early in the first period when he skated in on a rush and shot over Eric Comrie's left shoulder from the right circle. But he was also involved in the overtime winner and not for the good. The Lightning were on the power play when a Sabres' defender pressured Stamkos in the defensive zone, forced a turnover and then ripped it home to seal the win. Stammer has 60 points in 57 games this season but this was his first multi-point effort since Jan. 18. That's a span of 14 games (five goals, four assists). We're not sure if this slow down is nothing or if it's a sign of a tired captain. It bears monitoring as the star closes in on his 1,000th game, which barring injury should come before season's end.

Stamkos logged an assist, three shots on goal and two hits in Tuesday's 4-3 shootout win over the Avalanche.
EDGE Analysis
Stamkos set up Anthony Cirelli's game-tying goal early in the third period. In addition to the helper, Stamkos also had the lone shootout tally to lift the Lightning to the win. The 33-year-old hadn't gotten on the scoresheet in February after posting seven goals and nine assists over 13 games in January, so it's good to see him snap his slump. Stamkos has 24 goals, 58 points, 182 shots on net, 62 hits, 35 blocked shots, 28 PIM and a plus-8 rating through 53 outings overall.
