Steve Stamkos has only 13 points during the last 14 games. "The thing he was doing before he was fighting bodies. He wasn't fighting to get the puck," coach Guy Boucher said. "I told him, 'You've got to have the puck. Stop trying to bang everybody and go to the net to fight with other bodies with sticks in the air. You're there to score goals. You're going to screen, but you're going to screen with your stick on the ice.' He worked really hard in practice. We looked at video. He never had his stick on the ice. He never was around the net to score. Now, he's going there to score. Plus, he's using his speed a lot more to be first on puck rather than to hit."
