Lightning Captain Steven Stamkos broke out of a five-game goal drought with a pair of tallies in two games last week to earn Player of the Week honors.
Stamkos' best game of the week came on Thursday night as the Bolts blew out the Rangers 9-3. Stamkos assisted on both of Alex Killorn's power play tallies and scored a back-breaking goal in the second period to push the Bolts' lead to four.
