NHL.com’s fantasy staff continues to cover the latest trends and storylines in the League through the lens of NHL EDGE<\/a>\u00a0puck and player tracker stats. Today, we identify the key advanced metrics surrounding Nashville Predators forward Steven Stamkos during his bounce-back season.<\/p>\n

—<\/p>\n

Steven Stamkos<\/a> has re-emerged as one of the game\u2019s elite goal-scorers backed by strong advanced stats and is keeping the Nashville Predators in Stanley Cup Playoff contention.<\/p>\n

Stamkos, who\u2019s 36 years old, is turning back the clock with 34 goals in 70 games, tied for 14th in the NHL, this season. He leads the League in game-winning goals (10) and is tied for the most hat tricks (two; including a four-goal game\u00a0Dec. 11).\u00a0Stamkos scored 27 goals in 82 games last season, his first with Nashville after leaving his longtime team, the Tampa Bay Lightning, and signing a four-year contract with the Predators on July 1, 2024.<\/p>\n

Stamkos also is among the\u00a0NHL leaders in even-strength goals (24; tied for 12th), and the Predators (33-28-9; 75 points) currently hold the second wild-card spot in the Western Conference with 12 games remaining. Nashville is 6-3-1 in its past 10 games, and its four-game winning streak is the longest active streak in the NHL. Stamkos has five points (three goals, two assists), three power-play points and six shots on goal during that span.<\/p>\n

Since Nov. 26, Stamkos is tied with\u00a0Cole Caufield<\/a> and\u00a0Nikita Kucherov<\/a> for the NHL lead in goals (30 each). During that 48-game span, the Predators rank 11th in the NHL in points (27-16-5; 59 points) and fourth in the Western Conference, led by their experienced core of forwards Stamkos, Filip Forsberg<\/a>, and\u00a0Ryan O\u2019Reilly<\/a>, defenseman Roman Josi<\/a> and goalie Juuse Saros<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"NHL.com’s fantasy staff continues to cover the latest trends and storylines in the League through the lens of…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":561917,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[556],"tags":[64,63,575,85],"class_list":["post-561916","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-nhl","tag-au","tag-australia","tag-nhl","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/561916","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=561916"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/561916\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/561917"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=561916"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=561916"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=561916"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
