          tamkos had gotten off to a slower start
        
        
          to his NHL career than he had hoped.
        
        
          But now that he was rolling there was
        
        
          no stopping him. He continued to get
        
        
          better in his third season. Stamkos had 19
        
        
          goals in the team’s first 19 games. He ended
        
        
          up with 45 goals. He also had his second
        
        
          90-point season and made his first All-Star
        
        
          Game.
