TAMPA, Fla. -- Steven Stamkos hopes he hasn't played his last game for the Tampa Bay Lightning.
The two-time Maurice Richard Trophy winner as the NHL's top goal scorer can become an unrestricted free agent July 1, however he reiterated Friday that he'd like to stay with the team drafted him No. 1 overall in 2008 and came within one victory of reaching the Stanley Cup Final for the second straight year.
"I certainly hope to be back. We obviously have unfinished business here," Stamkos said a day after Tampa Bay's 2-1 loss to the Pittsburgh Penguins in Game 7 of the Eastern Conference final.
