Steven Stamkos nets a goal and two assists in the Lightning's 5-1 win over the Blackhawks. Analysis: Steven Stamkos looked as dominant as ever, wiring a rocket of a shot on the power play past Malcolm Subban in the second period. He also added assists on Tampa's first and last goals of the game. If opening night was any indication of how the Lightning will fare without Nikita Kucherov, the defending champions will be just fine. He and Brayden Point, who also had a goal and an assist in the Lightning victory, look to be in midseason form on Tampa's top line.
