Scores game-winner against Chicago

Stepan scored a goal on three shots in Wednesday's season-opening 3-2 win over the Blackhawks.

Analysis:

The goal came on a tip-in late in the first period and subsequently turned out to be the winner. Considering the veteran center has eclipsed the 20-goal plateau just once in his last five seasons, you should probably expect these nights to be few and far between, but with second-line center duties, the 25-year-old should dish out enough assists to end up with at least 55 points this season.
