Steven Stamkos was red hot Saturday, as the Tampa Bay Lightning captain picked up a career-high five points in a 7-6 shootout win over the Philadelphia Flyers.

Stamkos wasn't the only member of the Lightning with the hot stick, either.

Linemate Nikita Kucherov, who returned to the lineup after a two-game absence, tallied three assists, including a perfect set up on a two-on-one break with Stamkos that fooled Flyers netminder Petr Mrazek.

Stamkos then added to his afternoon by sealing the shootout winner.

Tampa Bay blue-liner Victor Hedman also notched four points.

The Lightning's next game comes Tuesday against the Florida Panthers.
