Could Steven Stamkos be the fourth Hanson brother?
The Tampa Bay Lightning captain posed with the infamous trio in preparation for Tuesday night's preseason game against the Pittsburgh Penguins in Johnstown, Pa., which was named "Hockeyville USA" in a contest sponsored by Kraft in May.

The city was home to the ECHL's Johnstown Chiefs from 1987-2010, after serving as the location for the 1977 film, "Slap Shot." The movie has become a cult classic and featured the fictional Charlestown Chiefs, led by Paul Newman's character, Reg Dunlop, as well as the Hanson Brothers.
The Lightning might have some trouble getting all three of them signed under the cap, though.
As for Stamkos, he also took a selfie earlier in the day with a fan wearing a Sidney Crosby jersey:
