He still had 43 goals last year. He has 5 goals in 7 games so far this year.
I think the issue was that he was given less than stellar linemates and the Johnson line ate into his opportunities. Also, scoring in the league as a whole was down. Stamkos was still 2nd in the league in goals.
Apart from Ovechkin, he's still the best goal scorer in the league. Druin appears to have come into his own, which should put Stamkos numbers back up.
