No corner of the net is safe when Steven Stamkos is on the ice.
The Tampa Bay Lightning captain improved his goals total to eight on the season with a pair against the Philadelphia Flyers on Thursday, including this improbable power-play tally.
Stamkos set up Valtteri Filppula with a cross-ice pass, but Filppula missed an open net opportunity. The puck was eventually cycled back to Stamkos, who unloaded a wrist shot from below the left faceoff dot into a tiny opening above Ray Emery's right shoulder.
The goal gave the Lightning a 2-1 lead late in the second period. Stamkos scored again early in the third and assisted on Jason Garrison's game-winning goal.
