After Anthony Cirelli’s career-high 20th goal gave Tampa Bay a 3-2 lead against the visiting Columbus Blue Jackets on Tuesday, Stamkos put the club’s 24th home win in the books with a pair of goals. The final one, which gave him a hat trick, was an empty-netter.
Every goal you score in this league is pretty special,” said Stamkos, who recorded his 13th career hat trick and has totaled 39 goals, including 19 on the power play. “When you get three in a game, you remember that, for sure.”
