4 years agoTampa Bay Lightning forward Steven Stamkos made his return to the lineup and finished with a goal scored in Wednesday's 5-2 victory against the Stars. Stamkos' impact in Game 3 of the 2020 Stanley Cup Finals in Edmonton helped the Lightning take an early two-goal lead after forward Nikita Kucherov opened the scoring on a breakaway, and they would add another three goals coming from defenseman Victor Hedman, along with forwards Brayden Point and Ondrej Palat. Hedman added a pair of assists to finish with a three-point performance, bringing his Playoff total to 20 points through 22 games. Goaltender Andrei Vasilevskiy continued his strong production in net by stopping 22-of-24 shots on goal in the contest. The Lightning take a 2-1 series lead into the only back-to-back set scheduled in the series for Friday and Saturday night, with the Stars looking to bounce back from two consecutive losses in the 2020 Stanley Cup Finals.--Denis Vondrus - RotoBaller
