It seems like quite a while since Valtteri Filppula was shooting the puck, let alone scoring. Before tonight he had only 15 points on the season, based in part on his relegation at times to third-line duty.
Tonight he was centering Alex Killorn and Steven Stamkos, and tonight he notched his 4th goal on the season with a wrist shot. Alex Killorn took his 11th assist of the season on that one and Steven Stamkos tied for the team lead in points (29) with his 13th assist on the season.
