Steven Stamkos to Be Featured on Cover of NHL 12 Video Game

When we last saw Steven Stamkos, he was playing with a smashed face, the result of a puck to the face in the Eastern Conference Final.

He reappeared on Wednesday night at the NHL awards, where it was announced that the Tampa Bay Lightning forward would be featured on the cover of the NHL 12 video game.

Chicago's Patrick Kane and Jonathan Toews were featured on the 2010 and 2011 version of the game respectively.
