"After a slow start to the season, Stamkos now has eight goals in his past eight outings, which coincides with the Predators going 6-2 over that stretch following a 7-2 win over the St. Louis Blues. "I'm going to have to remember what I ate for breakfast. When you get to my age sometimes you forget," said the 35-year-old, who opened the season with four goals in his first 22 games."
"The four-goal outing was the second of Stamkos' 18-year career. He previously scored four times in a 7-4 win at Edmonton on Dec. 14, 2023, while with the Tampa Bay Lightning. And he became just the fourth Predators player to score four times, joining Filip Forsberg and Rocco Grimaldi (both in 2021) and Eric Nystrom (2014). Stamkos opened the scoring 8:22 in by batting in his own rebound on a 2-on-1 break."
Steven Stamkos scored four goals in a 7-2 win over the St. Louis Blues, marking eight goals in his past eight games as the Nashville Predators went 6-2 during that span. The 35-year-old began the season with four goals in his first 22 games before this scoring surge. The four-goal performance was the second of his 18-year career and followed a previous four-goal game on Dec. 14, 2023, with Tampa Bay. Stamkos completed his 15th career hat trick in the game and increased his career multigoal total to 102, third among active players behind Alex Ovechkin and Sidney Crosby.
