Tampa Bay Lightning captain Steven Stamkos extended his league-best goal-scoring streak to six games on a penalty shot Sunday, fooling Boston Bruins goalie Tuukka Rask with a move before sneaking the puck around his left pad for his 28th goal of the season, and giving his team a 4-1 second-period lead.
Stamkos can tie his career best for consecutive games with a goal (7) if he scores tomorrow night in Toronto.#TBLightning #TBLvsBOS

The 26-year-old was awarded the penalty shot after being hit from behind by Brad Marchand while breaking towards the net. It was Stamkos' third penalty shot of the season. He failed to score on his two earlier attempts.
It appeared Stamkos may have scored just two minutes before with a howitzer from the point, but the shot was tipped by Ryan Callahan for his second goal of the game.
