Just three days earlier, Stevens also tallied back-to-back goals 2:18 minutes apart during the second period in the Lakers' 9-7 victory at home over the Coquitlam Adanacs.
But what makes the feat truly special for Stevens is scoring the natural double in back-to-back games.

Stevens garnered three goals in the win over the A's and also earned the game's first star nod in the process.
In typical Steven's fashion, the former five-time club scoring champion tallied his first of two back-to-back markers early in a period, scoring his first in the opening minute of the middle frame on a pick-and-go with Eli McLaughlin from Tyler Digby.
The following counter came two minutes later in the period on another textbook slide off a pick - calling for a short, forthcoming pass from Scott Jones from a second assist to McLaughlin - Stevens buried the ball far post on former Laker keeper Dan Lewis to give Burnaby a 5-4 lead.
